  "account": "TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher Trey Yesavage underwent knee surgery to repair his meniscus on Tuesday, manager John Schneider announced. Yesavage, who is currently uncertain of his return status, may still pitch this season, according to Schneider. The 20th overall pick in the 2024 amateur draft, Yesavage has a 3.65 ERA in 18 starts and was sidelined after feeling knee pain during a start at Houston last Tuesday. In October, Yesavage set a Blue Jays postseason record with 11 strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings against the New York Yankees. The Blue Jays also placed right-hander Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm tendinitis on Tuesday.",
