3 days agoBlue Jays: The curious case of Trey Yesavage and his undisclosed injury
The Blue Jays' pitching prospect Yesavage will start the season on the IL due to a shoulder injury that was not disclosed until recently.
Called up to make three starts to end the regular season, Yesavage had a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP in 14 innings pitched. Yesavage's playoff debut saw him strikeout 11 over five and one-third hitless innings, then he threw another gem in the World Series, going seven innings with 12 strikeouts while giving up just one earned run in Game 5. In six postseason appearances, Yesavage had a 3.58 ERA and 3.61 FIP in 27.2 innings pitched.
Fellow top Blue Jays prospects Arjun Nimmala and Jojo Parker were also listed among the industry's top 100 prospects, ranking 62nd and 66th, respectively. Yesavage sits as the 10th-highest ranked prospect on the list, courtesy of his 60-grade ranking from BA. Pittsburgh's Konnor Griffin is ranked the sport's No. 1 overall top prospect, slotting in ahead of Detroit's Kevin McGonigle and St. Louis' JJ Wetherholt - with that trio comprising BA's top three prospects for 2026 heading into spring training.
