Yesavage’s Comeback Could Change Wild Card Race | Toronto Blue Jays News

Trey Yesavage, the Blue Jays’ 23-year-old pitcher recovering from left knee surgery, is on a razor-thin timeline to return for a potential postseason push—throwing off a mound this Friday, with hopes of contributing before the regular season ends. If his initial bullpen session goes well, he’ll progress through live hitters and possibly pitch in a game before Triple-A Buffalo’s season wraps up on September 20th. The team’s goal? A few high-impact innings—not a full game—to bolster their bullpen during the AL Wild Card race. Manager John Schneider even floated the idea of starting him in the first inning, betting on his “super bulk” potential to dominate early. With everything riding on a perfect sequence, Yesavage’s comeback could be the spark the Jays need—or a gamble they can’t afford if they fall out of contention.
