The Toronto Blue Jays top overall prospect and playoff phenom Trey Yesavage is still waiting to make his season debut in the big leagues.

Yesavage, who entered this spring looking forward to his first full season as a major league pitcher, suffered a right shoulder impingement that landed him on the 15-day injured list to begin the season.

The former East Carolina hurler was sent on a rehab assignment with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays on April 3.

The 22-year-old made his second appearance with the Single-A club Tuesday out of the bullpen. Yesavage pitched 2.2 innings, struck out six, walked one and allowed four earned runs on as many hits. All four of his earned runs were allowed in the first inning.

According to a post on "X" from the Athletic's Mitch Bannon, Yesavage was able to maintain his velocity and had "solid" command throughout his 2.2 innings of work.

Yesavage, who was selected by Toronto in the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft, made his major league debut in the final month of the regular season last year.

Yesavage made three starts for the Blue Jays in September and posted a 3.21 ERA and struck out 16 batters in 14 innings pitched. Yesavage stayed on the team's starting rotation through the playoffs and ended up being one of the most reliable arms for Toronto as it won its first American League pennant since 1993.

In the postseason, Yesavage had a 3.58 ERA and fanned 39 batters in 27.2 innings pitched across six appearances (five starts).

Yesavage's shoulder injury is just part of a growing mountain of injuries for the Blue Jays' starting rotation this year.

In the spring, Yesavage, Shane Bieber and Jose Berrios all went down. Berrios had a stress fracture in his throwing elbow and Bieber was out from the beginning of spring due to forearm fatigue.

During the season, free-agent signing Cody Ponce suffered a sprained ACL, which he's set to undergo surgery on. The injury is scheduled to keep him out for most, or possibly the entire season.

Max Scherzer, who the Jays signed during spring training amidst the initial injuries to Yesavage, Berrios and Bieber, is also currently dealing with arm tendinitis, although he's expected to make his next scheduled start.

Due to Yesavage not having a whole spring training to ramp up, he'll likely need more minor league outings before the team activates him off the injured list. Even still, the fact his velocity and command are improving and staying consistent are good signs he'll be up sooner rather than later.
