Yesavage did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on a hit and no walks over two innings against the Orioles. He struck out three.
In his first outing since Aug. 4, Yesavage's only blemish across two frames (40 pitches) was a solo homer to Pete Alonso in the first inning. A limited workload wasn't surprising for the young right-hander, as his lone rehab appearance with Triple-A Buffalo while recovering from surgery on a torn meniscus was limited to two-thirds of an inning. On the year, Yesavage owns a 3.67 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 94:46 K:BB across 95.2 innings (19 starts), and it remains to be seen if he'll make another appearance before the conclusion of the regular season.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Activated ahead of Monday's start
Rotowire
The Blue Jays activated Yesavage (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
Yesavage will rejoin the rotation with a start Monday versus the Orioles after being shelved since early August following meniscus surgery on his left knee. He threw only 34 pitches over two-thirds of an inning during his lone rehab outing, and the Blue Jays are aiming to get just three frames out of Yesavage against Baltimore. The right-hander has authored a 3.65 ERA and 91:46 K:BB over 93.2 frames covering 18 starts in the big leagues this season.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Returning Monday
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Orioles, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Yesavage has been out since August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, and although he made just one rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo that lasted two-thirds of an inning, he's been cleared to help the Jays cross the finish line of the 2026 season. His first start back isn't expected to last very long, however, as the Blue Jays are hoping to get roughly three innings out of him (45-to-50 pitches) before handing the ball to Spencer Miles. Yesavage will then be tentatively lined up to make one final start next weekend against the Reds, during which he could have a larger workload.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Could return as soon as Sunday
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) will throw a bullpen session this weekend and is on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list either Sunday or Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Yesavage didn't fare well in a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over just two-thirds of an inning. However, the Blue Jays are fighting for a wild car spot, so they don't have the luxury of giving Yesavage more time to get sharp. Yesavage could start Sunday against the Rangers or Monday versus the Orioles, but he'll be very limited from a workload perspective.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Struggles in rehab outing
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) thew 34 pitches and failed to get out of the first inning of a rehab outing at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Yesavage sat at 93.3 mph on his fastball, which topped out at 94.4 mph Tuesday. The right-hander allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on two hits and a walk. Toronto's goal is for the 23-year-old to start Sept. 21 in Baltimore. The Blue Jays would like their young arm back, as they are fighting for the third wild-card spot in the American League with the Guardians.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Rehab outing scheduled
Rotowire
Manager John Schneider said Sunday that Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The right-hander threw successful bullpen sessions Thursday and Sunday, clearing the way for his return to game action. If all goes well Tuesday, Yesavage could rejoin Toronto's rotation for the series opener in Baltimore on Sept. 21. He's been on the shelf since early August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Ramping up throwing program
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) threw a 30-pitch bullpen Thursday and is scheduled for another session in Toronto on Sunday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
If all goes well Sunday, Yesavage could make a rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo and return to the majors for the final week of the regular season. The 23-year-old right-hander continues to recover from meniscus surgery that he underwent Aug. 11, and his return would be a welcome one for the Blue Jays considering both Shane Bieber (shoulder) and Jameson Taillon (elbow) are on the IL. In addition, Spencer Arrighetti has struggled since being acquired by Toronto from Houston in early August.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Close to facing hitters
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) is expected to face hitters in live batting practice Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Yesavage checked out fine following a 23-pitch bullpen session Friday and is set to throw off a mound again Monday before advancing to facing hitters. Assuming the young right-hander steers clear of any setbacks in his recovery from meniscus surgery as he moves through his throwing program, he should be on track to return from the 15-day injured list before the end of the season. However, Yesavage likely won't be stretched out enough to handle a traditional starting role once he's activated and could act as more of an opener or get deployed in a piggyback arrangement with another pitcher.
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Ready for bullpen Friday
Rotowire
Manager John Schneider said Yesavage (knee) will throw his first bullpen Friday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Yesavage has been throwing off flat ground, but he is about ready to take the next step in his recovery. When he has his bullpen session Friday, it will be about three weeks since he had surgery Aug. 11 to repair his torn meniscus. The right-hander is eyeing a return before the end of the season.
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Trending toward late-September return
Rotowire
Manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Yesavage (knee) continues to play catch off flat ground, and the Blue Jays are still hoping the right-hander can return from the 15-day injured list in late September, MLB.com reports.
After undergoing left meniscus surgery Aug. 11, Yesavage was cleared to begin a throwing program about a week later. While he's said to be showing good range of motion with his knee, the Blue Jays haven't yet given him the green light to advance to mound work. Yesavage still has enough time to get cleared for game action before the end of the season, but if he ends up returning in the final week or two of September, he won't be stretched out enough for a full starting role.
Yesavage (knee) resumed throwing from flat ground Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
It's a positive step in Yesavage's recovery from a meniscus injury that he underwent surgery for last week. There's a chance that the 23-year-old returns toward the tail end of the 2026 season, though that will ultimately depend on how he responds to an increased workload as he progresses in his rehab program. Yesavage posted a 5-5 record across 18 starts prior to his recent knee injury, boasting a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 91:46 K:BB over 93.2 innings.
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Week-to-week after meniscus surgery
Rotowire
Yesavage (knee) underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus Tuesday and is considered week-to-week, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Manager John Schneider said the Blue Jays haven't ruled out Yesavage for the remainder of the 2026 season. The 23-year-old has been limited to 18 big-league starts this season due to shoulder and knee injuries. He's posted a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 91:46 K:BB across 93.2 innings and is in the 91st percentile in expected opponent batting average (.200).
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Diagnosed with meniscus damage
Rotowire
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Yesavage has been diagnosed with meniscus damage in his left knee and will visit a specialist Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Yesavage had to be lifted from his start Tuesday against the Astros and was placed on the injured list Wednesday. Schneider noted that surgery for Yesavage "is always a possibility," but that determination will be made following his exam Monday. Even if an operation isn't required, Yesavage is likely to be sidelined for several weeks.
