Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage made a strong return in his season debut Tuesday night against Boston, tossing five and one-third shutout. Innings. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out three, walked to nobody, and gave up just four hits while throwing 74 pitches, 50-4. Strikes, he left the mound with his team up three-nothing. Coming off a shoulder impingement that landed him on the injured list to start the year, Yesavage had a rough patch and four minor league rehab starts. Posting a 7.50 ERA, but he settled in quick against the Red Sox, handling a double in the first, and capping his night by fanning Wilson Contreras to open the sixth. The sellout crowd of 41,949 gave him a huge standing ovation as he walked off. Even after some early booze when the manager came to pull him, fans clearly remember his

1:01impact from last season. Yesavage climbed four minor league levels in 2024, wrecking up 160 strikeouts and 98 innings. He debuted in the majors last September with nine Ks in five frames, when one in zero with a 3.21 ERA in three starts and shown in. The playoffs, including a Jays record 11 strikeouts in the ALDS. That unique arm angle of his, releasing at 7.09 feet, sets him apart and fuels the hype. Look for more gems from this young Ace as Toronto pushes forward.
