Trey Yesavage Promoted To Triple-A Buffalo

According to a report from MLB.com's Keegan Matheson, the Blue Jays are promoting Trey Yesavage to Triple-A Buffalo. The 22-year-old right-hander is Jays Centre's no. 2 prospect in the organization.

Yesavage was Toronto's first-round pick in the 2024 draft. He began his professional career earlier this year at Single-A Dunedin, and after stops at High-A Vancouver and Double-A New Hampshire, he has received his third promotion of the year. 

While it's unusual to see a player rise up the minor league ranks so quickly, it's hardly surprising considering how well Yesavage has performed at every step along the way. In 19 games (18 starts) across three levels, he has a 3.01 ERA, a 2.50 FIP, and an utterly ridiculous 42.3% strikeout rate. While his ERA was a little higher with New Hampshire, he continued missing bats and limiting hard contact.  

Earlier this month, manager John Schneider named Yesavage as a possible candidate to offer some right-handed depth for the major league club (per The Athletic's Mitch Bannon). He is now one step closer to reaching the show.
