As of last night, the Blue Jays have recalled Trey Yesavage. We're talking about the club's top prospect.
Fans have been clamoring to see him for a long time, and it's finally happening tomorrow. Did the club's cushion in the standings help the Blue Jays make the decision?
And what you need to know is that he's not going to start in relief. Maybe he'll go afterwards, but the Blue Jays wanted to give him a workload similar to what he's used to.
So tomorrow, against the Rays, he'll be the starter.
Blue Jays scheduled starters vs Rays this week in Tampa:
9/15 – Trey Yesavage
9/16 – Jose Berrios
9/17 – Kevin Gausman
9/18 – Chris Bassitt– Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) September 14, 2025
The Blue Jays feel that Yesavage is one of the best arms in the organization and deserves to be in the Majors.
This means that Eric Lauer, who was sent to the bullpen and hasn't pitched much since, has been overtaken by a much better pitcher who doesn't even have a year's experience in the pros.
There's no telling who will suffer in terms of personnel movement.
Yesavage, who has seen the Blue Jays limit him all year in the minors, has no innings pitched restrictions at the moment. As long as he can give some, he'll be able to give some.

The people in charge of development can be happy with their work this year: they made Yesavage a Major League pitcher very quickly. It's amazing how quickly he's risen, in fact.
Whether he delivers or not remains to be seen. And if he does… watch out for the other teams.
