Trey Yesavage (knee) targeting postseason return

Toronto Blue Jays photo day

Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Player Stats

Trey Yesavage (knee) threw a 30-pitch simulated game on Thursday.

Yesavage is working his way back from last month’s left knee meniscus surgery with the goal of helping Toronto’s potential postseason run. It seems unrealistic that he’ll return before the conclusion of the regular season, especially with only two weeks left on the calendar, but there’s optimism he’ll be ready to take the ball in October. There’s a slight possibility he’ll make it back for the final weekend of the year, but that’s hardly a reason for fantasy managers to stash him. He’s expected to make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo in the coming days.

Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage (knee) could return to the Blue Jays this weekend.

The 23-year-old has been pitching in Triple-A as he works his way back from knee surgery. He threw 34 pitches in a start on Tuesday. He will now throw another bullpen with the team in Texas and is “on track to join the MLB team on maybe Sunday or Monday.” He will obviously not be fully ramped up by then, but the Blue Jays are fighting for the final playoff spot and believe that even 40-50 pitches from Yesavage is an upgrade for them. His command was a major issue before his injury, so it’s hard to trust him in fantasy leagues for the remainder of 2026.

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage (knee) recorded two outs in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Yesavage didn’t make it out of the opening frame in his first rehab outing, averaging 93.3 mph on his fastball and topped out at 94.4 during the abbreviated 34-pitch start. He allowed two hits and also issued a walk before being lifted for pitch count reasons. He presumably got the rest of his work done out in the bullpen afterwards. The 23-year-old is attempting to make it back in time for Toronto’s postseason run, assuming they make it there, after undergoing knee surgery last month.

Trey Yesavage (knee) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Yesavage is making his way back from knee surgery. He made 30 pitches in a simulated game in his last mound session, so the Jays will probably be aiming for him to throw two or three innings in this outing. He’s attempting to make it back for the postseason, if the Blue Jays manage to qualify.

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to face hitters in a simulated game on Thursday.

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.

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage got up to 92 mph while throwing a 23-pitch side session Friday.

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.
Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Friday.

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.
Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage (knee) has started a throwing progression.

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.
Trey Yesavage

TOR Starting Pitcher #39

Trey Yesavage is week-to-week after undergoing left knee meniscus surgery.

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

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Trey Yesavage (knee) is dealing with a meniscus injury and will visit a specialist.

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

Blue Jays placed RHP Trey Yesavage on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation.

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.

The Red Sox have their starters for Saturday and Sunday listed as TBD.

Saturday would be Payton Tolle’s turn, following by Patrick Sandoval on Sunday, but it looks like the Red Sox might be tweaking things. Depending on what they do, they could be aiming to move Tolle ahead of Ranger Suarez as a potential Game 2 starter in their likely Wild Card series.

Hunter Goodman (thumb) remains out of the lineup on Thursday against the Padres.

Goodman has now missed three straight games with right thumb soreness after being pulled from Monday’s game early. There is no indication that the Rockies are thinking about putting him on the injured list, but they also have nothing to play for at this point in the season, so it’s possible. Brett Sullivan will start behind the dish and hit eighth.

Rafaela has been sidelined since September 6th with a right quad strain. The Red Sox could try to get him into a game at Triple-A over the weekend before the season ends, but it appears that the center fielder is close to a return.

Garrett Mitchell (neck) is out of the lineup on Thursday against the Pirates.

Mitchell was scratched from Wednesday’s game with neck tightness. The Brewers said it was precautionary, and they are resting many starters on Thursday, like Christian Yelich and William Contreras, so it’s too early to know if this injury will actually be a concern for Mitchell. Luis Lara will start in center field on Thursday with Sal Frelick playing right field and batting seventh.

The Brewers are resting all of Christian Yelich, William Contreras, Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell, and Cooper Pratt on Thursday against the Pirates.

The Brewers have clinched the division and are playing an early game, so it makes sense that they would rest a handful of their starters. Fantasy managers should expect them to take a similar approach next week, as they will want to give their starters an extra day of rest or two before the postseason.

Matt Weyrich of the Baltimore Sun reports that Cade Povich will be recalled to start for the Orioles over the weekend.

Povich was originally scheduled to start on Thursday for Triple-A Norfolk but is no longer listed as the starter. The team is down a starter with Kyle Bradish on the injured list, so it makes sense that Povich will come up to take his spot. The exact day remains unclear, but we’d recommend avoiding him as a spot start against the Brewers.

Shea Langeliers is out of the lineup on Thursday against the Rays.

Since coming back from surgery to repair a torn meniscus, Langeliers has played three of the five games for the Athletics. With the team not in playoff contention, it makes sense that they don’t want to push the 28-year-old’s knee any more than they need to. The Athletics are at home all week next week, but we would expect Langeliers to sit two of those games. Jeff McNeil is at DH and hitting second on Thursday, while Donovan Walton is at second base and batting fifth.

Brewers designated LHP Rob Zastryzny for assignment.

Zastryzny was on the 60-day injured list with a left trapezius strain, but his time on his rehab assignment elapsed, and the Brewers had to activate him. They didn’t have a spot for him on the active roster, so they let him go but could re-sign him to a minor league contract.

Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44
Player Stats

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that the team’s plan is “to activate Andy Pages (fractured hand) this homestand without a rehab assignment.”

The Dodgers are home from Friday through next Wednesday, so Pages could be activated at any time during that stretch. The season ends for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, so if Pages is coming back without playing in rehab games, our best guess is that he returns early next week. Considering the 25-year-old fractured his hand on August 21st and will not have any rehab games before returning, it’s going to be tough to trust him in fantasy leagues for the final week of the season.
