"Yesavage pitched 4.1 innings, throwing 71 pitches with his velocity sitting between 93-95 mph. While he allowed seven hits and three earned runs, he also induced 12 whiffs and had five strikeouts, which are the more encouraging numbers to look at."
"Lauer has made three starts this season and in 12.2 innings pitched he's allowed 11 earned runs on 11 hits with 12 strikeouts and nine walks."
"It's fair to suggest that Yesavage could take Lauer's spot in the rotation, sending Lauer to the bullpen, and giving that group another left-handed option that could eat up innings."
The Toronto Blue Jays are dealing with significant injuries early in the season and are seeking reinforcements. José Berrios' rehab performance may complicate decisions regarding the rotation. Currently, the starting five includes Kevin Gausman, Dylan Cease, Eric Lauer, Max Scherzer, and Patrick Corbin. Trey Yesavage's return from Triple-A could lead to Lauer being moved to the bullpen, as Yesavage showed promising signs in his recent outing despite some struggles. Lauer's previous experience in the bullpen makes him a candidate for this transition.
