Yesavage Returns, Blue Jays Shuffle Rotation

0:00It's April 25th. You're listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage. I'm Cory with the story. Trey Yessivage, the Blue Jays top prospect, is finally back in action. The guy who lit up their 2025 World Series run gets activated off the injured list Tuesday for his 2026 debut against the Red Sox. Manager John Schneider made the call after some recent check-ins. Yessivage dealt with a right-shoulder issue all spring, so he ramped up through rehab starts in single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo. His latest outing was just 64 pitches, but the team feels he's ready. No more pauses, just straight go time. After shining from the minors to the biggest stages last year, this return hits different for Yessivage. The rotations banged up with injuries to guys like Jose Barrios, Shane Bieber, Cody Ponce, and Bout in Francis, so they need him locked in long-term. To ease him back, expect pitch counts around 65 to 85 at first, building on last year's 139 and 2 thirds.

1:04Innings total. Eric Lowers heading to the bullpen as the long reliever to help steady things in the middle innings. Meanwhile, rotation tweets for the weekend, Patrick Corbin starts Sunday, sliding Dylan Seas to Monday against Boston. Hart moved to balance workloads ahead of divisional matchups, keeping the arms fresh for that playoff push.
