Yesavage's Impressive MLB Debut

0:00It's April 29th. Canada News Today starts now. AI powered and ready. I'm Corey with the story. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage made a strong return in his season debut against Boston, tossing five and one-third shut-out innings. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out three, walked nobody, and gave up just four hits while throwing 74 pitches, 54 strikes. He left the mound with his team up three-nothing. He started the year on the injured list, nursing a shoulder impingement, then posted a rough zero-and-one record with a 7.50 ERA over. Four minor league rehab starts. Still, he settled in quick, escaping a first-ending double by Wilson Contreras with a ground-out and a fly ball. In front of a sell-out crowd of 41,949, fans gave him a standing ovation as he walked off after striking out. Trey Yesavage made it to Paris to open the sixth. A few booze hit manager John Schneider for the pool, but the cheers drown them out quick.

1:04Left-hander Mason Fleuharty took over. Yesavage climbed four minor league levels last year, fanning 160 in 98 innings. He debuted in the majors on September 15, going 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three starts, then shown in the playoffs with a 3-1 mark, 3.58 ERA, and 39 strikeouts over 27 and 2-3 innings. That unique arm angle of his launches pitches from a 7.09 foot release point, one of the highest in the league, setting him up for. More big nights ahead.
