The Toronto Blue Jays’ pitcher, Yesavage, recently showcased his skills in a minor-league game, throwing 35 pitches over two innings. This performance occurred on a Monday and followed his first outing of the spring just five days earlier, where he also delivered 35 pitches.
Performance and Preparation for the 2023 Season
Yesavage is gradually being prepared for his first full season in Major League Baseball (MLB). Last season, he demonstrated impressive growth, elevating from single-A Dunedin to the major leagues, where he accumulated 41.2 innings, including 27.2 innings during the postseason.
Spring Training Progress
Despite positive developments, there are currently no plans for Yesavage to participate in spring-training games. Reports indicate he is focused on building his stamina to eventually join the Grapefruit League play, which could come soon, given the limited time left in the spring-training schedule.
- Five games remaining in spring training before the season opener.
- Regular season starts on March 27 at Rogers Centre against the Athletics.
Other Blue Jays Pitching News
In related news, pitcher Dylan Cease also took the mound on the same day, completing five innings against minor-league hitters. He expressed his desire for another game before spring training concludes, while also feeling positive about his performance.
Cease’s last appearance was against the Atlanta Braves, where he threw three shutout innings, further asserting his readiness for the upcoming season.
This spring training period is critical for the Blue Jays as they look to finalize their roster before the regular season begins.
