"The 22-year-old righty, pitching in front of the assembled Blue Jays brass, which included manager John Schneider, pitching coach Pete Walker and general manager Ross Atkins, faced four batters without recording an out in his first inning of action before the top half of the frame was called - one of the perks of a simulated game."
"There were a fair number of arm-side misses from Yesavage, who seemed to be battling his command during his first game appearance of any kind this spring. But the results aren't important right now, as Schneider reiterated afterwards. The main priority is keeping him healthy and getting his reps in before camp wraps up in two weeks."
"Just good to be back out there. Defence behind me, facing a [minor-league] lineup, and I'm happy just getting to play baseball."
Trey Yesavage, the Toronto Blue Jays' 22-year-old right-handed prospect, made his spring training return in a simulated game at the player development complex. Pitching two innings against minor-league hitters, he threw 35 pitches and allowed five runs on three hits, including two home runs, along with two walks and no strikeouts. Yesavage struggled with command, particularly with arm-side misses in his first inning where he faced four batters without recording an out. Manager John Schneider emphasized that results are secondary to keeping Yesavage healthy and accumulating innings before spring training concludes. The club plans to maintain him on a starter's schedule with a recovery day following his outing.
