Very little going on today, except a couple of minor MiLB notes:
Trey Yesavage went 2.2 innings for Dunedin this afternoon. The surface results, 4 earned on 4 hits and a walk, aren’t great, but all four hits were singles. More importantly, he got 10 whiffs on 20 total swings and sat 94-96 all the way through the outing while commanding his pitches. That suggests that he’s close to ready to move up, and probably only a couple of turns away from being able to go 80+ pitches. The Jays will evaluate how he feels and make a decision about his next appearance later this week. We might yet see him with the big club this month.

In that same fame, Jojo Parker recorded his first pro extra base hit, on a lined ground rule double:
Austin Voth and Josh Fleming have reportedly both cleared waivers and elected free agency. Both were clearly short term stopgaps in Toronto, and with Patrick Corbin now up and starting in Cody Ponce’s spot for the foreseeable future and Joe Mantiply tapped for Brendon Little’s former lefty specialist role, they’ll move on to seek greener pastures. Farewell Austin and Josh, we hardly knew ye.
Also, the Yankees lot to the homeless A’s, which foe all this has been a rough start the Jays can at least say they have not done. So that’s nice.
we’ll be back with actual Blue Jays baseball tomorrow.
