Trey Yesavage continued his progression toward a return to the major leagues on Wednesday.
The Toronto Blue Jays right-hander, currently recovering from a shoulder impingement that landed him on the injured list, made a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo.
It marked another step in his effort to rejoin the big-league roster.
Yesavage worked 4.1 innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while issuing one walk and striking out five.

The 22-year-old got off to a strong start Wednesday, retiring the first two batters he faced on just seven pitches, including a strikeout of Robert Hassell III.
However, he surrendered a solo home run to Dylan Crews, putting Buffalo behind 1–0, before rebounding with another strikeout to end the inning.
The second inning proved more challenging. Rochester extended its lead to 2–1 with another solo homer, and after two consecutive singles, an additional run came in on a double play.
Yesavage remained in the game into the fifth inning but was lifted after giving up back-to-back singles to Zack Short and Christian Franklin, leaving runners on the corners with one out.
Reliever Jesse Hahn entered and stranded both runners.
In the 2025 regular season, Yesavage went 1–0 across three starts, posting a 3.21 ERA and a 1.429 WHIP over 14 innings, with 16 strikeouts and seven walks.
He elevated his performance in the postseason, making six starts—including two in the World Series—and finishing 3–1 with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.048 WHIP over 27.2 innings.
He struck out 39 batters, highlighted by an 11-strikeout performance in an ALDS game against the Yankees, while issuing 11 walks.
