Toronto — The Toronto Blue Jays may soon see the return of two injured pitchers, according to updates provided Tuesday by manager John Schneider. Trey Yesavage is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday. The plan is for him to throw approximately 65 pitches over four innings. According to a tweet by Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, the team will evaluate Yesavage's performance and condition following the start to determine if he will join the Blue Jays in Anaheim. Berrios is scheduled to pitch for Single-A Dunedin on Thursday. He is expected to throw around 50 pitches over three innings, according to Hazel Mae of Sportsnet. Yesavage has been sidelined this season with a right shoulder impingement and did not participate in spring training games. Berrios sustained a stress fracture in his right elbow late in spring training. Yesavage, 22, was drafted by the Blue Jays in the first round in 2024. He made his major league debut in September 2025. Berrios, 31, is a 10-year MLB veteran. He has a career record of 108-82 with a 4.08 ERA. He missed the end of the 2025 season with right elbow inflammation. The Blue Jays are currently 6-9. The team will play the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
