Toronto Blue Jays rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage took an important step in his recovery on Friday, making his first rehab start with single-A Dunedin.
Nearly a year after his professional debut at the same level, Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage returned to Florida to begin his climb back to the majors following a shoulder impingement.
Pitching in Dunedin’s season opener against the Bradenton Marauders, a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate, the 20-year-old delivered a solid outing.
He allowed just one run on one hit, an inside-the-park home run, while striking out three and issuing one walk over 2.2 innings. Of the 44 pitches he threw, 30 were strikes.
Trey Yesavage pitched 2.2 innings for Dunedin tonight (44 pitches). He struck out 3, walked 1, and allowed 1 run on an inside the park homer. He's been taking 8-9 days between throwing sessions lately, so interesting to see when the #BlueJays SP goes next

Yesavage has a 30-day window to rejoin the major league roster
The appearance also triggered a 30-day window for Yesavage to rejoin the major-league roster, though the Blue Jays are hopeful he could return sooner.
Selected 20th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, Yesavage quickly rose through Toronto’s minor-league system last season.
He made a strong impression late in the year, contributing both in the regular season and during the playoffs.
In three regular-season starts, he posted a 3.21 ERA, followed by a 3.58 ERA across six postseason appearances, including five starts.
Yesavage originally began his professional career with Dunedin on April 8, 2025, before earning a promotion to high-A Vancouver on May 20.
