Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider was on Sportsnet 590 with Blair & Barker to discuss what it will take for Trey Yesavage to make his MLB debut.
Since toeing the rubber in Dunedin back in April, Trey Yesavage has taken the minor leagues by storm.
He made seven starts for the Blue Jays in the Florida State League before being moved to the West Coast, joining the High-A Vancouver Canadians.
Four starts there turned into a promotion to Double-A New Hampshire, where he appeared in eight games (seven starts) before getting the nod to Triple-A Buffalo, where he currently is.
Through 95 innings this season, Yesavage owns a 3.22 ERA and a 1.000 WHIP across 24 appearances.
He's struck out 156 batters, good enough for sixth in minor league baseball in pitchers with a minimum of 90 innings, and a number that has decreased a bit since the Jays moved him into a bullpen role down the stretch.
Yesavage also owns a stellar 5.1 H/9 mark and has allowed just eight home runs this season.

"Are you one of our best 14 pitchers in our system to help us win? If yes, I think there's a pathway for him... in whatever role... He's got our attention for sure."

Now, Yesavage has admitted in the past that he takes a second to adjust to a new level, so through five outings, he may still be getting his feet wet in Buffalo.
The dilemma with that is, considering he's already pitched a career high in innings and is now in a newer bullpen role, is there still enough left in the tank to make an impact at the big league level?
