"Blue Jays manager John Schneider revealed top pitching prospect Trey Yesavage has received clearance to begin the next phase of his deliberately slow build-up this spring. He'll make his first game action appearance on Wednesday at the PDC, aiming for "two-ups" (also known as two innings) against minor-league hitters in a simulated environment."
"Ricky Tiedemann resumed throwing at the complex on Tuesday after being shut down for the last few weeks due to left elbow soreness. Now that he's seemingly in the clear, the 23-year-old southpaw will continue "ramping up" through the rest of this week."
"Nothing has changed in the Shane Bieber (forearm) or Yimi García (elbow) department, as Schneider added, reiterating that both rehabbing hurlers remain on similar timelines right now. They're each rotating between "lighter and heavier" workloads in camp, although none of those drills include mound work yet."
The Toronto Blue Jays announced positive developments for several young pitchers during spring training. Trey Yesavage, a top pitching prospect, received clearance to begin his next rehabilitation phase and will make his first game appearance in a simulated environment against minor-league hitters. Ricky Tiedemann, a 23-year-old left-handed pitcher, resumed throwing after being sidelined with left elbow soreness and will continue ramping up his workload. Shane Bieber and Yimi García remain on similar recovery timelines, rotating between lighter and heavier workloads but not yet throwing off a mound. Both are expected to begin the season on the injured list. Louis Varland is also being brought along gradually following his record-setting relief appearances in the postseason.
