The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> intend to promote their 2024 first-round pick, Trey Yesavage, to the major leagues, according to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith.<\/p>\n

Yesavage is expected to be active for Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old right-hander has risen through the Blue Jays organization in his first season of professional baseball, pitching at each of Toronto’s four full-season affiliates this year.<\/p>\n

Over 25 appearances and 98.0 innings across his four stops, Yesavage has posted a 3.12 ERA while striking out 160 batters and walking 41. His 160 punchouts rank sixth among all minor-leaguers.<\/p>\n

Toronto picked Yesavage with the 20th-overall selection in last year’s draft out of East Carolina University, where ranked among the NCCA’s top pitchers with a 2.03 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 93.1 innings.<\/p>\n

Armed with a four-seam fastball, splitter, cutter and slider, Yesavage features such a unique over-the-top arm angle, making at-bats uncomfortable for hitters on either side of the plate.<\/p>\n

Yesavage was ranked as the Blue Jays’ top prospect and the 26th-overall prospect in all of baseball in a mid-season update by MLB Pipeline.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Yesavage wasn’t added to Toronto’s 40-man roster ahead of roster expansion on Sept. 1, he could still be post-season eligible via a Commissioner’s exemption to replace an injured player \u2014 a hurdle that has commonly been cleared for top prospects in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto Blue Jays intend to promote their 2024 first-round pick, Trey Yesavage, to the major leagues, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-142270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
