They couldn’t have announce this before I hit publish on the last post?
Trey Yesavage will make Tuesday’s start for the Jays, against the Red Sox. That doesn’t quite lineup with Max Scherzer’s next start, which would be Wednesday if the rotation stayed the same.
Whoops, now I see that Eric Lauer is being moved to the pen. I’d imagine they will try to hold him to piggy back with Scherzer, but I shouldn’t try to outguess them. Yesavage has been hit pretty hard in his 12 rehab innings, but is throwing
as hard as ever.
Lauer, I’d imagine, won’t be pleased to be the one losing his spot in the rotation, but he has done well in the long relief role (or at least what the team considers a long relief role). They do need someone to go three or more innings out of the pen. If they had someone who could have gone three yesterday, it would have helped out.
Welcome back, Trey.
