Blue Jays activate Yesavage for Orioles game, send Arrighetti to spring complex Toronto reinstated rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage from the 15‑day injured list, added him to the lineup against Baltimore, and moved lefty Joe Mantiply to DFA while optioning Spencer Arrighetti to the spring complex. Right‑hander Chad Dallas was also recalled. The Toronto Blue Jays announced that rookie right‑hander Trey Yesavage has been activated from the 15‑day injured list and will start Monday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. Yesavage, who has been sidelined since his left knee buckled during warm‑ups against Houston on August 4, is expected to return to the rotation after a quick recovery. The Blue Jays' manager John Schneider said the pitcher felt healthy after a brief rehab outing with Triple‑A Buffalo last week, and believes he is ready for the challenge.Yesavage Set to Resume Role Against OriolesYesavage's return comes on the back of a recent appearance on July 24 when he delivered a solid first inning against the Boston Red Sox, helping the Jays hold the Red Sox to a low score early in the game. The rookie's season totals include a 5‑5 record, a 3.65 ERA and 91 strikeouts over 93.2 innings.In addition to adding Yesavage to the active roster, the organization recalled right‑hander Chad Dallas from Triple‑A. Dallas has appeared in four games this season, posting a 6.10 ERA in 4.2 innings. He is expected to provide bullpen depth for the upcoming matchup. The Blue Jays also made roster moves that saw left‑hander Joe Mantiply designated for assignment and right‑hander Spencer Arrighetti optioned to the spring training complex in Dunedin.Arrighetti, brought in at the trade deadline in exchange for outfielder Daulton Varsho, has struggled in seven appearances with a 6.35 ERA and a 2‑4 record, giving up 19 strikeouts in 22.2 innings. Toronto is currently three games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final American‑League wild‑card slot, with six regular‑season games remaining in their schedule. The Friday, July 21 game against Baltimore will be their first signature test of Yesavage's comeback.Blue Jays Aim to Close Wild‑Card GapThe Blue Jays' next opponents come from looking to close the gap in the wild‑card race, with their performance in the next stretches likely to determine whether they can secure a postseason berth. The organization hopes that the return of Yesavage and the fresh arm of Dallas will help alleviate the pitching workload and keep the team competitive going into the final weeks of the year.
