Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Trey Yesavage back in the rotation and back on track with impressive outing

After two straight outings in the bullpen, Trey Yesavage got the start for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Wednesday and didn't allow a single baserunner.

Yesavage ended his appearance after three perfect innings against the Rochester Red Wings, tossing 34 pitches, 28 strikes, and striking out four.

The 22-year-old overwhelmed the Rochester lineup with a heavy dose of fastballs, averaging 94.3 m.p.h. with his heater, while mixing in a splitter and slider. With his three-pitch mix, Yesavage generated nine swings and misses on the night.

Yesavage struggled in his last relief appearance on Sunday, recording just one out while walking two and allowing one hit before being lifted from the game.

He immediately flipped the script on Wednesday, needing just 13 pitches to strike out the side in order in the bottom of the first.

The six-foot-four righty continued to handle a Red Wings lineup that featured several players with MLB experience, cruising through the next two frames, as just one ball put in play came off a bat at over 90 m.p.h.

He has dominated in 2025, and that is putting it lightly.

Over 95 IP, he has an insane 156 Ks, 2.59 FIP, and 2.59 xFIP while displaying a deep pitch mix, which is highlighted by his high rise FF (20-21 Avg iVB) and a CH with over 10 in. of iVB separation.

It was a strong outing for the Blue Jays top-ranked prospect, who was bouncing back from a relief appearance that was marred by command issues.

He didn't issue a single walk this evening and pitched an 82.4% strike rate, an impressive feat through three innings and 34 total pitches.

Yesavage was sitting between 93-95 MPH with his fastball, and the splitter was generating a ton of whiffs on the evening.

While Yesavage wasn't added to Toronto's 40-man roster ahead of roster expansion on Sept. 1, he could still be post-season eligible via a Commissioner's exemption to replace an injured player, a hurdle that has commonly been cleared for top prospects in recent years.
