Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Trey Yesavage returned to the mound on Monday, September 21, 2026, logging two innings against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, according to Rotowire reporting cited by CBS Sports. The 23-year-old right-hander was activated from the 15-day injured list prior to the game after missing over a month due to surgery on a torn meniscus in his left knee.
Yesavage’s Return and Workload Management
According to Rotowire, Yesavage did not factor into the decision, allowing one run on a single hit with no walks while striking out three batters across 40 pitches. His only blemish during the outing was a solo home run surrendered to Pete Alonso in the first inning. The Blue Jays managed his workload carefully following a limited rehabilitation appearance with Triple-A Buffalo, where he threw just 34 pitches over two-thirds of an inning on September 15, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca via Rotowire. Following Monday’s appearance, Yesavage holds a 3.67 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 94:46 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 95.2 innings and 19 starts during the 2026 major league season.
