On Saturday afternoon, the Toronto Blue Jays made it official: Starting pitcher Trey Yesavage is going to make his season debut on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. He's been out all year with a right shoulder impingement.

It's a welcome sign for the Jays, who have been arguably the most injured team in the league in the early going. Yesavage, who starred in the playoffs last season, has just three regular season starts under his belt. He's still the organization's top prospects.

As we speculated upon on Saturday, the decision to bring back Yesavage comes with a predictable outcome: Eric Lauer is being moved back to long relief and the Blue Jays will make a roster move with a bullpen arm.

But after that? Things get very interesting.

While it's unknown exactly when it's going to happen, Jose Berrios is also nearing a return to the rotation. Which means the Jays will have to open up another spot in the group. 

That decision will likely come down to Patrick Corbin vs. Max Scherzer.

Signed to a one-year deal during spring training, Scherzer has made five starts for Toronto, pitching to a 9.64 ERA. He's 1-3 and two of his last three starts have seen him go just 2.1 innings each. He gave up seven earned runs on six hits and three walks in Friday's 8-6 loss against the Cleveland Guardians, putting immense pressure on the bullpen.

It should be noted that he went six innings against the Diamondbacks last weekend, giving up just two runs, but other than that, it's been a tough first month for the future Hall of Famer.

Also, Scherzer isn't missing many bats. One of the top strikeout artists in baseball history, he has just one in his last 8.1 innings, and only 10 total for the season.

However, given his standing in the clubhouse, do the Blue Jays really want to jettison him? He also has two World Series rings, so he brings championship experience to a team looking to win its first title since 1993.

On the other hand, the 36-year-old Corbin is 0-0 with a 3.68 ERA in three starts, striking out 12 batters in 14.2 innings.

There is a chance that the Blue Jays could keep Scherzer in the rotation while putting Corbin in the bullpen, but that would mean that Corbin, Lauer and Mason Fluharty will be three lefties in the 'pen. Does Toronto really need that?

Scherzer seems unlikely to be a bullpen option if the team doesn't want him in the rotation.

The Blue Jays will wrap up a series with the Guardians on Sunday afternoon.
