The Toronto Blue Jays place rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage on the 15-day injured list after he leaves an outing with left knee discomfort during a game against the Houston Astros. Reports say he feels a pinching sensation while warming up in the third inning Tuesday night, struggles to plant his leg, and stops after consulting with the team staff.
The injury disrupts Toronto’s pitching plans after the club shifts toward a six-man starting rotation. City News Toronto and other outlets report corresponding roster moves, including recalling pitchers Lazaro Estrada and Chase Lee from Triple-A to cover the rotation. Yahoo Sports and Vancouver Sun note that Yesavage’s setback comes shortly after that rotation adjustment.
There are also details on the medical response. Winnipeg Free Press and City News Toronto report that Yesavage undergoes successful knee surgery, described as a procedure to repair his meniscus on Monday. City News Toronto adds that he is not ruled out for the season and could return this year, though he is sidelined in the immediate term.
