Trey Yesavage eyeing eventual MLB debut after dominant outing in Triple-A Buffalo

Trey Yesavage had his strikeout stuff working on Thursday night with triple-A Buffalo.

Making his second start since being promoted to the Bisons, Yesavage tossed 83 pitches, 51 strikes over 4.2 innings of three-run ball, punching out eight hitters and walking two.

Yesavage averaged 93 m.p.h. with his fastball, mixing in a changeup, cutter and slider, according to Baseball Savant, to attack the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders lineup.

The 22-year-old allowed all three runs in the second inning, as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre strung together four hits before Buffalo escaped the frame.

Outfielder Bryan De La Cruz delivered the most damage, driving in two with a double off the wall.

Outside of the big RailRider inning, where he paid the price for missing out over the plate, Yesavage made quick work of the Yankees' triple-A affiliate.

He worked 1-2-3 innings in the first and third and allowed just one baserunner in the fourth.

It was an improvement from Yesavage's first triple-A outing, where the 2024 first-round pick lasted just 1.2 innings, walking four and striking out three.

Yesavage has risen through Toronto's farm system in 2025, pitching at all four full-season affiliates, and landed in Buffalo with an outside shot at contributing to the first-place Blue Jays down the stretch.

Recently ranked as the Blue Jays' top prospect by MLB Pipeline and No. 26 overall in all of baseball, Yesavage's eight strikeouts Thursday move him into third place among all minor leaguers this season with 145 in 86.2 innings of work.
