The Buffalo Bisons are set to welcome Trey Yesavage for a crucial rehab start, marking a significant step in his recovery journey. The 22-year-old right-handed pitcher, who is working through a shoulder impingement, will take the mound on April 14, 2026. This outing aims for approximately four innings of play and 65 pitches.
Trey Yesavage’s Rehabilitation Journey
Yesavage has already made two appearances with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays this season. In those games, he faced 23 batters, yielding an earned run average (ERA) of 8.44. Specifically, he allowed five earned runs on five hits over 5.1 innings. His performance includes nine strikeouts and two walks.
If his performance in Buffalo is successful, Yesavage could make a timely return to the Toronto Blue Jays. Manager John Schneider expressed optimism regarding his rehabilitation progress.
Jose Berrios Joins the Rehabilitation Roster
In another significant development, right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios is also preparing for his rehab start in Dunedin, scheduled for April 15, 2026. At 32 years old, Berrios is working through recovery from a stress fracture in his pitching arm. This injury was identified during a physical exam for his participation in the World Baseball Classic.
- Berrios aims for three innings and 50 pitches in his upcoming start.
- His recovery is progressing, albeit slightly behind Yesavage’s timeline.
- This injury is unrelated to the inflammation that caused him to end his 2025 season early.
Berrios’ return to the Blue Jays could happen within the next few weeks if his rehab starts go well. Both pitchers represent vital components of the team’s pitching lineup as the Blue Jays look to improve on their current record of 6-9.
Upcoming Matchup
The Toronto Blue Jays are set to face the Milwaukee Brewers in a three-game series, starting later this evening. This series could be crucial as the team aims to shift their momentum back in their favor.
