Blue Jays Manager Says Top Prospect 'Could Factor In' Down Stretch
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Toronto Blue Jays called up top prospect Trey Yesavage to Triple-A, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, and now he is just one step away from joining the first-place club in the American League.

BALTIMORE, MD - JULY 29: Manager John Schneider #14 of the Toronto Blue Jays looks on during the third inning in game one of a split doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on July 29, 2025 in Baltimore, Maryland. More Photo byThe Blue Jays are in the heat of a playoff race and, as of Wednesday, lead the pack in the American League. With that going on, Blue Jays manager John Schneider told Bannon, "I think Yesavage could (factor in). I know he's not on the 40-man, but I think he could." The Blue Jays are loaded up with starting pitching, with five healthy arms in the major league rotation, along with a rehabbing Alek Manoah and newly acquired Shane Bieber. Yesavage, who projects as a starter in the major leagues, could find himself debuting in the bullpen with the surplus of starting pitching. Yesavage was drafted in the first round of last year's MLB Draft and is now on the cusp of being in a major league uniform. Yesavage cruised through the minor league levels this season with a 3.01 ERA across three levels of the system. As Schneider mentioned, Yesavage is not on the 40-man roster and would have to be added before any call-up is made; someone would have to be designated for assignment. If last season's first-round pick is ready, the Blue Jays may be less concerned with the possibility of losing one of their players to waivers. The most entertaining part of the season is underway, and now teams are putting the finishing touches on their formula for greatness in October.

The Toronto Blue Jays' #2 prospect is set to join their #1 prospect on the Vancouver Canadians: Report
The Vancouver Canadians already feature Toronto Blue Jays' No. 1 prospect, Arjun Nimmala. Now, apparently, the No. 2-ranked Trey Yesavage is on his way to join the Nat Bailey Stadium crew. There's been no official word from the C's as of yet, but Blue Jays reporter Keegan Matheson at writes that the Blue Jays are promoting fireballing pitcher Yesavage from the single-A Dunedin Blue Jays to high-A Vancouver, along with fellow right-handers Khal Stephen and Gage Stanifer. Yesavage, 21, who was Toronto's first-round pick (No. 20 overall) in last summer's entry draft, last pitched Tuesday for Dunedin. The Blue Jays would undoubtedly want to keep him on the same routine.

The C's are wrapping up a series with the Everett AquaSox on Sunday at the Nat. They start a six-game road set with the Eugene Emeralds on Tuesday, and then are back at the Nat for six against the Hillsboro Hops starting May 27 . Yesavage would start that night, assuming he's kept on his current schedule. The #BlueJays are promoting one of Single-A's most dominant pitching trios to Vancouver, led by No. 2 prospect Trey Yesavage. Full story on the news: Nimmala, 19, is a right-handed hitting shortstop who was Toronto's first-round pick (No. 20 overall) in 2023 and he has been superb so far for Vancouver, despite being one of the younger players in the Northwest League. Nimmala went into Sunday's doubleheader against the AquaSox hitting .277, with seven home runs and 18 runs batted in, through 32 games. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Yesavage has a fastball that sits at 93-95 miles per hour and peaks at 98. The speculation all season has been that the Blue Jays would bump him up to Vancouver once the weather here started to warm up. He's dominated through seven starts at Dunedin, striking out 55 while walking just eight in 33 and one-third innings. He's gone 3-0 there, with a 2.43 earned run average. Yesavage received a $4.18 million signing bonus from the Blue Jays. Nimmala's signing bonus was $3 million. The top 10 pitching prospects according to the Formulated Consensus! 1. Trey Yesavage 2. Chase Burns 3. Jonah Tong 4. Gage Jump 5. Bubba Chandler 6. Sean Linan 7. Carlos Lagrange 8. Logan Henderson 9. Wei-En Lin 10. Jacob Misiorowski Join StS for more! Stephen, 22, is Toronto's No. 10-ranked prospect. He was 3-0, with a 2.06 ERA, in eight appearances with Dunedin, including seven starts. Stanifer, 21, has been Dunedin's closer. He's 4-0, with an 0.69 earned run average and two saves in seven appearances. MLB Pipeline has Nimmala and Yesavage in those top two positions among Blue Jays prospects. Vancouver's leading player on MLB Pipeline's Toronto list to finish last season was lefty Kendry Rojas, who came in at No. 12. When 2023 came to a close, righty Dahian Santos led Vancouver players on the MLB Pipeline rating of Blue Jay up and comers, slotted at No. 11. Nimmala comes in at No. 59 and No. 71 in MLB Pipeline's updated top-100 rankings for the entire minor leagues. The C's likely haven't had prospects of this ilk since lefty Ricky Tiedemann did an eight-game turn with Vancouver in 2022. He was Toronto's No. 6 prospect when he arrived in May. By July, he had jumped to No. 3 in the Toronto system and No. 63 in the minors. He had entered the top-100 minors list at No. 100 on May 31. He made his last start with Vancouver on July 8 and then was promoted to the double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Vancouver has been a Toronto farm team since 2011. They moved from the short-season, single-A level to high-A when Major League Baseball rejigged the minors during the COVID-19 pandemic break in 2020. SEwen@ @SteveEwen
