Trey Yesavage, the highly-regarded Blue Jays pitcher, is on the verge of joining Toronto's major league team.
Trey Yesavage Set for MLB Debut with Toronto Blue Jays
Trey Yesavage, the Blue Jays' top prospect and the team's first-round draft pick from East Carolina University last year, is projected to make his major league debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in September 2025. The young right-handed pitcher has impressed in the minor leagues this season, earning a call-up to Triple-A Buffalo on August 11, 2025 [1][2].
Yesavage's rapid rise through the minor leagues has been nothing short of remarkable. He began the season at low-A Dunedin before being moved to high-A Vancouver, where he posted a 1.53 ERA and had 33 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings in four starts [1]. His dominance continued at Triple-A, where he has a combined ERA of 3.01, with 134 strikeouts and 30 walks in 80 2/3 innings across three levels [1][3].
The Blue Jays' organization is eager to give Yesavage some major league innings late in the season, preparing him for a possible rotation spot in 2026 [1][2]. His addition to the team could bolster Toronto’s bullpen depth down the stretch, especially as the team chases a playoff position and seeks strong pitching options for the postseason.
Yesavage's dominance and upside make him a tempting choice to add late-season bullpen strength. While the Blue Jays might initially consider using the September call-up roster spots for relievers with prior MLB experience, Yesavage's impressive numbers and potential make him an attractive option for the bullpen [1][2][3]. His presence could help solidify the relief corps, providing high-leverage innings and strikeout ability, potentially improving the team’s pitching depth for the playoff push.
In his final outing before moving to Triple-A, Yesavage made his first career relief appearance, pitching five innings. He allowed two runs on four hits, with no walks and nine strikeouts [1]. Opponents hit just .160 against Yesavage, with a .241 on-base percentage [1].
The Blue Jays' relief corps currently has a 4.06 ERA, which ranks 18th in the majors. With three straight bullpen blowups, including the last one being salvaged by Mason Fluharty's first career save, the addition of Yesavage could provide much-needed reinforcements. Yesavage is scheduled to pitch during the Bisons' homestand [1].
MLB Pipeline ranks Yesavage as No. 1 in the Blue Jays' system, and his impact on the team's bullpen could be significant. His addition could bolster Toronto’s bullpen depth, providing high-strikeout arms and enhancing options for the postseason.
