ALDS: Yesavage’s Rapid Rise Earns Him Game 2 Start for Blue Jays vs. Yankees

Yesavage earned the start after a rapid rise through minors and strong MLB debut, with 160 strikeouts in 98 minor league innings, Blue Jays manager said.

  • On Sunday, rookie Trey Yesavage will start Game 2 for the Toronto Blue Jays against the New York Yankees, John Schneider announced before Saturday's opener.
  • Manager-Driven roster moves left two veterans off the ALDS roster, prompting younger arms to step up as Toronto carefully managed Yesavage's innings across five pro levels.
  • Statistically, Yesavage went 5-1 over 22 starts with a 3.63 ERA across the minors and struck out 160 batters over 98 innings.
  • The immediate effect is strategic flexibility across Game 1–3 pitching assignments, as John Schneider said starting Trey Yesavage at home keeps him available later while Shane Bieber will start Game 3 on Tuesday and Kevin Gausman started Game 1.
  • The start marks a milestone as his first MLB postseason appearance and a rapid rise from the 2024 draft, with Yesavage saying `Having to go out there and perform at your best to help your team win a championship.
