This is it.

The Toronto Blue Jays have made the decision to recall Trey Yesavage in preparation for what's to come. The club's top prospect will now have his chance in the playoff race.

Ben Nicholson-Smith reports that the youngster may not be active for tomorrow's game. However, going forward, he should be available in the bullpen.

Yesavage has played at four levels in the minors this year, and his progress has been meteoric. He has 160 strikeouts in 98 innings (that's been managed all year to prepare for a potential recall) this year.

There's a wave of young pitchers being recalled these days in Major League Baseball, and he's one of them.

It's worth remembering that at every level of the minors, Yesavage struggled early on. So recalling him now was the right thing to do if the club wants him playoff-ready. He'll have a learning curve.

Yesavage isn't on the 40-man roster (that's going to take a personnel move, by the way) and he wasn't on it on September 1. However, the Blue Jays should manage to get him into the heart of the playoff lineup regardless.

The playoff bullpen could look something like this:

If all goes well, let's say Yesavage is a game-changer. He has incredible talent and is a machine for pulling players on strikes. Still, it's a tall order.
