Blue Jays Young Pitcher Undergoes Meniscus Surgery
The Toronto Blue Jays are going to be without one of their top pitchers, as Trey Yesavage has undergone meniscus surgery.
Toronto Blue Jays' promising young pitcher Trey Yesavage is set to miss an extended period after undergoing meniscus surgery, according to reports from The Athletic's Mitch Bannon. While Yesavage is not officially out for the season, manager John Schneider has described his recovery timeline as week-to-week. The 22-year-old right-hander has made 18 appearances this campaign, tallying a 5-5 record, a 3.65 ERA, and 91 strikeouts.
His last outing came on August 4 against the Houston Astros, where he left after two innings due to discomfort.
Yesavage's significant role on the Blue Jays makes his extended absence a concern for the team. They presently sit at the bottom of the American League East standings and are far removed from playoff contention. Over the course of his two-season MLB career, Yesavage has posted a 3.59 ERA and 107 strikeouts in 21 games. Last season, he appeared in six playoff games, compiling a 3-1 record, a 3.58 ERA, and 39 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are advised to exercise patience in Yesavage's recovery process.
