    Trey Yesavage allowed one run and two hits over 5 2/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision versus the Astros.

    Yesavage walked five and struck out five. He didn’t walk anyone against Boston last time out, but he’s handed out 20 free passes over 28 2/3 innings in his last five starts. He’s not getting hit hard, so even if it’s not ideal, he can get away with two or three walks a night. However, issuing five walks, which he’s now done three times, is making things pretty hard on himself. He’ll face the Mets next week.

    Yesavage, who threw a 34-pitch bullpen session in Florida on Monday, figures to make it back to Toronto’s pitching equation before the regular season concludes, but he’s at least a few steps away based on his throwing progression. The 23-year-old starter underwent left knee meniscus surgery back in early August. It sounds like he’s going to need at least one minor league rehab start next week before he’s an option for the Blue Jays again.

    Yesavage, returning from knee surgery, will throw again Monday and then likely face hitters next Thursday. If the Jays remain in contention, he’ll probably get a chance to come off the IL for the final week of the season.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Yesavage is making lightning-quick progress after undergoing left knee meniscus surgery roughly three weeks ago. The 23-year-old is going to need at least a few more weeks to ramp up his throwing progression, but he figures to make it back to contribute in some capacity for the Blue Jays before the end of September.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Yesavage is roughly one week removed from undergoing left knee meniscus surgery and is aiming to return before the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old starter will need several weeks to build up his arm strength and pitch count and arm strength before he’s ready to jump back into Toronto’s rotation. He’s worth stashing in deeper mixed leagues, but fantasy managers in shallow formats are probably safe to cut bait.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Yesavage underwent a procedure to address a meniscus injury in his left knee and it sounds like the Blue Jays haven’t officially ruled him out for the remainder of the season, based on comments by manager John Schneider. The dynamic 23-year-old’s potential return in the closing moments of the year probably depends on whether Toronto has any chance at a playoff spot. It seems highly unlikely he’ll offer enough volume to make a significant fantasy impact down the home stretch, which means managers in shallow mixed leagues are safe to move on completely.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Surgery “is always a possibility,” when a player sees a specialist, said Schneider per Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi. This is not a promising update for Yesavage’s chances of returning to the rotation any time soon. Given Toronto’s position in the standings, it would be surprising if they tried to push him to fight through this towards the end of the season if they had any doubt about it.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    The latest report was that the Blue Jays were still waiting on MRI results, but it’s clear that they felt Yesavage would not be a good bet to make his next start or the one after. The Blue Jays didn’t fully sell at the deadline, but their playoff hopes remain slim, so they may not be inclined to rush Yesavage and have him pitch at less than 100 percent. We’ll wait for the MRI results before we know more about how long he will be sidelined.

    Not great. Yesavage appeared to injure his left knee while landing on a warmup pitch prior to the third inning and made an immediate exit from the contest with a trainer. He departed after firing a pair of scoreless innings. The 23-year-old’s absence would be a crushing blow in the middle of an already dismal season for the Blue Jays. He’ll undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the issue. It certainly seems like a potential injured list situation. There should be additional clarity on his status later this week.

    Yesavage appeared to injure his left knee on a warmup pitch prior to the third inning and was immediately lifted from the contest. The 23-year-old departed after firing a pair of scoreless frames. It would be a colossal loss for the Blue Jays, and fantasy managers as well, if he were to miss any time over the final two months. There should be an update on his status shortly.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #39
    Yesavage struck out four, walked three, and allowed three hits. He lowered his ERA to 3.73 with a strong outing against the highest-scoring lineup in MLB. The 23-year-old set an impossibly high bar with his October performance a season ago, but he’s held his own despite a limited minor-league track record. One concern is that he has four starts with five or more walks this season. Cutting those down is the key to a breakout over the final two months or in 2027. He’ll draw the Astros in Houston next time out.

    Samuel Basallo is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Guardians.

    No surprise here since Basallo has been playing through a lingering shoulder issue recently. The 22-year-old didn’t look comfortable on a couple swings during Tuesday’s contest, but managed to grind through the rest of the game. It’ll be Carlos Narváez handling the catching duties on Wednesday night in his absence.

    Adley Rutschman (elbow) received a cortisone injection earlier this week.

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters they’re anticipating Rutschman returning for Friday’s series opener against the Royals. He’s out of the lineup for the second straight game as he continues to deal with a hyperextended elbow. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into the final two weeks of the season.

    Willson Contreras (hamstring) will play in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Portland on Friday.

    Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy told reporters Contreras will need at least one minor league contest to get back up to speed and could potentially return from the injured list as soon as Saturday’s game against the Royals. The 34-year-old first baseman hit the injured list with a left hamstring strain back on August 31.

    Orioles placed INF/OF Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list with lower back discomfort.

    Alexander is going to require at least a brief stint on the injured list with Jeremiah Jackson coming up to take his roster spot. The versatile 27-year-old was lifted from Tuesday’s game against the Guardians with back spasms.

    Maikel Garcia (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    Miguel Vargas is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Pirates.

    It’s an extremely rare off day for Vargas with Colson Montgomery taking over at the hot corner and Chase Meidroth at shortstop. The 26-year-old is in the middle of a career year at the dish, slashing .250/.361/.482 with 95 runs scored, 30 home runs, 79 RBI and 16 steals in 627 plate appearances over 142 games.

    Jake Bauers (shin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Cubs.

    Bauers remains stapled to the bench for the third straight game as Milwaukee goes for their first home sweep of the Cubs since 2021. The 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder has been playing through shin splits in addition to several other physical issues recently. It’ll be Andrew Vaughn getting another turn at first base with Sal Frelick in right field.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Jazz Chisholm Jr. is headed to the injured list with a thumb sprain.

    Boone elaborated that Chisholm will be shut down from baseball activities for at least 7-10 days before adding that he would be comfortable with Anthony Volpe playing second base in his absence. The 28-year-old power/speed combo threat, who has racked up 19 homers and 40 steals in 134 games this season, suffered the injury on a slide into second base during the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game against the Rockies. There’s a decent chance that he’s done for the rest of the regular season with just over two weeks remaining on the calendar. Needless to say, it’s a significant loss for the Yankees as they try to overtake the Rays for the AL East division crown down the home stretch.

    Gunnar Henderson (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Guardians.

    Orioles manager Craig Albernaz described Henderson as day-to-day for now. The 25-year-old shortstop’s left knee locked up on him shortly after he fouled a ball off his leg during the eighth inning of Tuesday’s game. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to require a trip to the injured list at this juncture, but fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status leading into Friday’s series opener against the Blue Jays.
