MLB Toronto Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage | Mike Watters-Imagn Images We knew this was happening but it is official. Trey Yesavage has been added to the active roster and will start tonight. Chase Lee was sent back to Buffalo. I’m sorry for Lee, he looked pretty good yesterday, but we knew he was only up for the day. I’m sure we’ll see him again this year, they can send him down 5 times and I’d bet he’ll get there this year. Yesavage hasn’t been great in his rehab starts, 4 games, 12 innings, 15 hits, 10 earned, 7 walks and 16 strikeouts, but the fastball is where it was last year. He wasn’t going to throw 200 innings this year, so having him miss the first month isn’t a bad thing for the club.f He was rather amazing in the playoffs, with an ERA of 3.48 over 6 games, 5 starts. In 27.2 innings he allowed 18 hits, 2 home runs, 4 walks and 17 strikeouts. Let’s hope he picks up right where he jumped off. No pressure Trey. Just that our season is balancing on your left arm. Shi Davidi tells us that the Jays hitters have seen the fewest pitches per at bat in baseball this year. Whether that is a good or bad thing is up for debate. There are a few of the guys who could do with being a little more selective at the plate. But then some of the more selective hitters are on the IL It is a tough balance, you don’t want the pitcher to get ahead on the count, but then we have guys swinging at pitches well off the plate. And it isn’t like the guys with great strikezone judgement are tearing things up either. Davis Schneider takes a lot of pitches and he’s hitting roughly what you or I would, so for this season. Well, more you. The only way I’d reach base is if a pitch hit me.
