Trey Yesavage settled into a solid 4.2-inning performance after a rather shaky start in his third outing with triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old racked up five strikeouts allowing one run on two hits and two walks against the Pittsburgh Pirates’ top affiliate.<\/p>\n
After issuing a walk to the second batter he faced, Indianapolis’ designated hitter Nick Solak ripped a 413-foot double off the top of the wall in centre field to score a run. Yesavage balked Solak over to third as he limped through a 29-pitch first inning. <\/p>\n
Yesavage responded after Buffalo provided plenty of run support and returned for the second with a different look. The right-hander retired nine in a row before Cam Devanney reached on an infield single in the bottom of the fourth.<\/p>\n
He pumped 51 strikes on 83 pitches topping out at 95.3 m.p.h., with 13 whiffs \u2014 five on the splitter \u2014 before he was lifted with a 6-1 lead in the fifth.<\/p>\n
Toronto’s 20th overall pick in 2024 has been on a meteoric rise through their farm system in his first full pro-season, pitching at every level of the minors. He landed in Buffalo with an outside shot of contributing to the first-place Blue Jays down the stretch and into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Last time out, Yesavage also tossed 83 pitches with 51 strikes over 4.2 innings, punching out a whopping eight hitters and walking two after a rough first appearance where he walked four and gave up two runs in 1.2 innings of work.<\/p>\n
Recently ranked as the Blue Jays’ top prospect by MLB Pipeline and No. 26 overall in all of baseball, the right-hander’s five strikeouts Wednesday moves him into a tie for second place amongst all minor leaguers this season with 150 in 91.2 innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trey Yesavage settled into a solid 4.2-inning performance after a rather shaky start in his third outing with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":115687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99],"class_list":["post-115686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
