Trey Yesavage Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a three-inning/45-pitch simulated game on Friday, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Yesavage was held back on purpose in spring training and then landed on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 regular season due to a right-shoulder impingement. The 22-year-old will be given plenty of time to build up his workload as he looks to rejoin Toronto's starting rotation. Yesavage made a quick ascent to the big leagues in 2025 and only made three regular-season starts before hurling 27 2/3 innings over six outings (five starts) in the postseason, which included an epic 12-strikeout performance in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He struck out 39 batters and walked 11 in the postseason, putting his high-end upside on full display. Control can be an issue for Yesavage, though, and his redraft upside could be capped in 2026 with the Blue Jays handling him with extreme care to ensure his long-term health.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) was "very effective" in a minor-league game on Wednesday, and his "velocity bumped back up," general manager Ross Atkins told Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Toronto was being overly cautious with the 22-year-old's workload this spring, which is why he didn't appear in any Grapefruit League games. Then we learned that he was battling a right-shoulder impingement, which landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the 2026 campaign. It's disappointing for Yesavage's fantasy managers, but it's a plus that he's pitching in games and looking good. Still, he is going to need probably a few more minor-league starts on an official rehab assignment before the Jays are comfortable having him rejoin the big-league rotation. When he makes his season debut, expect the Jays to ease him into action early on, limiting his DFS appeal. In year-long fantasy formats, Yesavage is one of the highest-upside young starting pitchers in baseball.

The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 22) on Wednesday with a right-shoulder impingement, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. The Blue Jays are being extremely careful with Yesavage's workload after he joined the big-league roster late in the regular season and pitched into the World Series for the team last fall. It's not a serious injury, and the 22-year-old was able to pitch on the back fields at spring training on Wednesday. It's unclear when exactly Toronto will allow him to make his 2026 season debut, but it should be at some point in April. Left-hander Eric Lauer is the biggest beneficiary for the Jays with Yesavage, Jose Berrios (elbow), and Shane Bieber (elbow) all starting on the IL. Yesavage was a top-25 MLB prospect at the conclusion of last regular season, and then he proceeded to display his upside by striking out 12 against the Dodgers in the World Series. The former 24th overall pick creates deception with his delivery and features a three-pitch mix. Lack of control is probably the biggest knock on Yesavage. He'll have workload limitations early on, but long-term, he's one of the highest-upside young starting arms in baseball.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage (shoulder) is set to start a minor league game on Wednesday. The budding ace will begin the regular season on the injured list and is slowly increasing his workload. Yesavage has yet to take the mound this spring, but he will take the next step in his recovery on Wednesday. Yesavage made his MLB debut later in the 2025 season and posted a 3.21 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over his first 14 innings. In the postseason, the former 20th overall pick took the next step, striking out an impressive 39 hitters over 27 2/3 innings. Managers should continue to monitor Yesavage's status, as he may not have a lengthy stint on the injured list. When he does return, managers should expect him to claim a spot in the starting rotation, but his innings could be limited, which will hinder his overall upside.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage (shoulder) will open the season on the Injured List due to a right shoulder impingement, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Toronto had been slow-playing Yesavage in Spring Training in an effort to manage his innings workload, but it appears as though the young right-hander will now require an injury-related shutdown. The 22-year-old made his MLB debut in 2025 and was a key contributor in the Blue Jays' run to the World Series, pitching to a 3.58 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 39 strikeouts across 27 2/3 postseason innings. It's not yet clear how much time Yesavage should be expected to miss, but losing him for any stretch is a blow to Toronto's rotation. From a fantasy perspective, Yesavage's workload uncertainty makes him difficult for managers to rely on. Veteran left-hander Eric Lauer could be called upon to fill Yesavage's spot in the Blue Jays rotation to open 2026.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage faced some of the Jays' minor leaguers on Wednesday, totaling 35 pitches in the two-inning simulation. The right-hander is slowly being brought up to speed this spring as a result of throwing 139 2/3 professional innings last season, way more than he accumulated in any season during his time in college at East Carolina, although it's unclear what is next in his progression. The 6-foot-4 hurler was a key piece in the Jays' run to the World Series last year and struck out 55 batters in just 41 2/3 innings pitched, but as good as he looked, the team is going to try to ensure that they don't pile too many innings on the youngster's arm. Unfortunately for fantasy, that will likely limit the former first-rounder's ceiling in 2026, making him more of a No. 3 fantasy rotation piece. Still, the 22-year-old appears to be fairly valued in drafts, going right around his RotoBaller rank of 158 overall.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that starting pitcher Trey Yesavage will pitch in a Minor League game at the team's Spring Training complex on Wednesday, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Matheson reports that the plan is for Yesavage to pitch two innings, and that may make two additional Spring Training starts following his outing on Wednesday. Toronto is carefully managing Yesavage's workload after he threw 139 2/3 innings (including Minor League and postseason action) in 2025. Yesavage was a key piece of the Blue Jays' run to the World Series last season, posting a 35.8% strikeout rate and a 1.05 WHIP across 27 2/3 postseason innings. While the young righty's long-term upside appears to be sky-high, Toronto's apparent desire to hold him back from a full starter's workload may limit his 2026 fantasy value. Yesavage profiles as a high-ceiling, low-floor number three fantasy starter as Opening Day approaches.

Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitching prospect Trey Yesavage's next spring outing could be another live batting practice session, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. There are "no immediate plans" to get him into a Grapefruit League game. Manager John Schneider said, "We still view him as a starter," when asked about Yesavage's role going into the 2026 season. But it's no secret that Toronto is handling the talent young arm with kid gloves, and he could have an abbreviated start to the season, going like three to four innings per outing out of the gates. The 22-year-old only threw 46 1/3 innings at East Carolina in 2024 before jumping to 139 2/3 innings last year as he made it all the way to the big leagues while helping the Jays make it all the way to the World Series. Yesavage looked solid with 16 K's in 14 innings over his three regular-season starts, and he also added a 12-strikeout performance against the Dodgers in the World Series. His upside will be limited early on in his first full big-league season, so fantasy managers should have Yesavage ranked as more of a No. 3 starter with upside.

Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith writes that a best-case scenario for Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage is to "have him ready to pitch five-plus innings when the season begins," according to manager John Schneider. The Jays will ramp Yesavage up deliberately, which could mean that he's only going three to four innings to start the 2026 regular season. Nicholson-Smith reports that Yesavage will ramp up in Toronto's starting rotation and not at Triple-A Buffalo. The 22-year-old is one of the top arms in baseball and debuted to plenty of fanfare in 2025, posting a 3.21 ERA with 16 K's in 14 innings over his first three regular-season starts. In 27 2/3 postseason innings, he had a 3.58 ERA with 39 strikeouts and 11 walks, including a 12-K performance in the World Series against L.A. Yesavage threw 139 2/3 frames in 2025 after throwing 93 1/3 innings in college the year prior. The 22-year-old's control needs to improve, but he has as much upside as any young starter once he's fully stretched out.

The Toronto Blue Jays plan to manage right-hander Trey Yesavage's "workload fluidly throughout the season," according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Yesavage's rotation turn could be skipped or pushed back at times, depending on his measurables and how he's recovering between outings. The 22-year-old is still roughly a week from pitching in a Grapefruit League game in spring training as the team builds him up deliberately after a considerable workload jump last year. He is throwing a side session on Tuesday in camp, and his next mound work is scheduled to be a live batting practice session. Yesavage threw 139 2/3 innings last year, including the playoffs, after tossing 93 1/3 innings in college in 2024. The former first-rounder had a 3.21 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 16 K's in 14 innings over three starts at the tail end of the regular season before throwing another 27 2/3 frames in the playoffs, including a 12-strikeout performance in the World Series. Yesavage is clearly one of the best young arms in the game, but there are control and workload concerns, making him more of a No. 3 starting pitcher target in fantasy drafts.
