Supak was a second-round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft and has yet to reach the big leagues. The 29-year-old hurler posted a solid 3.85 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 131/33 K/BB ratio over 128 1/3 innings over 26 starts between Double-A Friso and Triple-A Round Rock this past season. He’s merely organizational fodder at this stage of his career.

It’ll be all-hands-on-deck for the Blue Jays behind Game 7 starter Max Scherzer on Saturday evening at the Rogers Centre as they attempt to bring a World Series title back to Toronto for the first time since 1993. The 22-year-old rookie phenom has been a game-changer this postseason with a sparkling 3.46 ERA and 39/10 K/BB ratio across 26 innings over five playoff starts. He struck out 12 and allowed one run over seven innings during Wednesday’s Game 5 victory. This would be his normal bullpen day between starts, so he figures to be available in some capacity after throwing 104 pitches earlier this week. He’ll be one of the most popular pitching targets for fantasy managers in drafts next spring.

Spectacular. Yesavage threw 71-of-104 pitches for strikes; his first time reaching triple digits in pitches as a professional. He generated 23 swings and misses in that time, and that’s a World Series record in the Statcast era. The 12 strikeouts are the most by a rookie in the World Series. So on and so forth. Outside of one hanger to Enrique Hernández, Yesavage was basically flawless and escaped the few mini-jams he faced without issue. The 22-year-old has the Blue Jays a win away from their first title since 1993, and he could be an option out of the bullpen for Game 7, if necessary. If this is it, make sure you are ready to draft Yesavage (relatively) early in 2026. Game 6 will take place Friday in Toronto, and a win for the Blue Jays clinches their first world championship since 1993.

Toronto manager John Schneider will hand the ball to Yesavage for a potential elimination game later this week at Dodger Stadium depending on the outcome of Game 4. The dynamic 22-year-old pitching prospect has been a revelation this postseason with a 4.26 ERA and 27/10 K/BB ratio across 19 innings over four starts this postseason. He allowed two runs over four innings last week during Toronto’s Game 1 victory back at the Rogers Centre. An interesting wrinkle: he’s been more effective at home than on the road, where opposing teams can use pregame pitching machines to better simulate his unique release point.

Yesavage struck out five while throwing 44-of-80 pitches for strikes, and he walked three. He generated 14 swings and misses, but his poor command allowed run-scoring singles in the first and second inning. Yesavage will almost assuredly get the start in Game 5 — if necessary — against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Kevin Gausman started the previous two Game 1s for the Blue Jays, but after he worked in relief in Game 7, he’ll get an extra day here (we’re assuming... the Game 2 starter hasn’t been officially announced). Yesavage has a 2-1 record and a 4.20 ERA in his three postseason starts. This will be his first MLB start on four days’ rest.

Yesavage struck out seven, but things got shaky as the night went along. Fortunately, he was able to record double-play balls to conclude the third, fourth and fifth innings. The first two of those came with the bases loaded, too. Oddly enough, he didn’t have a single double play in his previous five major league starts (three in the regular season, two in the postseason). Yesavage improved to 2-1 with a 4.20 ERA in October.

It had been anticipated that Yesavage would be available out of the Jays’ bullpen for Game 5 on Friday — and that could still wind up being the case — but he’s penciled in for Sunday. All that’s left to determine now is whether that game will be for the Jays to have a shot at punching their ticket to the World Series, or if they’ll have their backs up against the wall and looking to stave off elimination. Kevin Gausman will toe the slab in a critical Game 5 on Friday.

Yesavage somehow managed to keep Toronto in the ballgame after a rocky 33-pitch opening frame where he served up a three-run homer to Mariners superstar Julio Rodríguez. The 22-year-old rookie sensation wasn’t particularly sharp as he notched only four strikeouts and handed out three free passes. The Blue Jays stuck with him even as he experienced declining fastball velocity into the middle innings. He was finally lifted after 70 pitches in the fifth and was ultimately charged with two additional runs after reliever Louis Varland coughed up a go-ahead blast to Jorge Polanco. It seems likely the Blue Jsys will try to save him for the later stages of the series, but it’s easy to envision Yesavage pitching in relief in a must-win scenario for Toronto after dropping the first two games of the best-of-seven series.

That’s not official, but it’s the way things are lined up. Schneider also did admit today that was lying about having Yesavage available in Game 4 against the Yankees. Yesavage never did warm up in the game, which suggested that the statement about him being available in relief was pure deception.

Yesavage was sensational in Game 2 against the Yankees, and the 22-year-old will be a possible multi-inning option for Toronto with a chance to clinch a spot in the ALCS against the Mariners or Tigers. If he isn’t used, Yesavage could very well start either Game 5 of this series or the first game of that next round.

The 22-year-old rookie right-hander didn’t show any signs of nerves in this one, posting perhaps the most dominant postseason start in Blue Jays franchise history, which is saying something. The only baserunners against him came as Aaron Judge worked a four-pitch walk in the opening inning and Jazz Chisholm Jr. reached on a one-out error in the fifth. That’s it. Yesavage struck out the side in the first, third and fourth innings. He generated a whopping 18 swings and misses on 78 pitches on the day — 11 of them on his splitter — while registering an other-worldly CSW of 45 percent. The Jays phenom could be available out of the bullpen in Game 5 if the Yankees can find a way to hold serve at home, otherwise the next time that we see him would come against either the Tigers or Mariners in the ALCS.

Schneider added that Shane Bieber will get the ball for Game 3 of the best-of-five series. Yesavage steps into the spotlight for his postseason debut on Sunday afternoon at the Rogers Centre. The hard-throwing 22-year-old top prospect made some serious noise down the home stretch, posting a pristine 3.21 ERA across 14 innings over three starts. He’s going to play a prominent role for Toronto if they’re going to make a deep postseason run.

Yesavage bounced back from his previous start with five shutout innings in a win over the Rays. He stranded two runners in the first and escaped a bases loaded jam in the third, scattering five hits and two walks in all while collecting five strikeouts. The 22-year-old right-hander had an incredible season in the minors and figures to be a key contributor in the postseason for Toronto.

Yesavage gave up five hits, walked three and struck out two. The 22-year-old right-hander’s second big league start wasn’t as memorable as his franchise record nine-strikeout debut. Yesavage didn’t flash much strikeout upside against the Royals with just two punch outs, but he should still be rostered in all leagues. He’s lined up to face the Rays at home next weekend if the Blue Jays keep him in the rotation.

“He’ll be pitching in Kansas City,” said Schneider, " We just don’t if it’s going to be starting or coming out of the bullpen.” The 22-year-old top pitching prospect set a franchise record with nine strikeouts and allowed one run over five innings on Monday in his big-league debut against the Rays. He’s not expected to have any workload restrictions and his immense strikeout upside gives him relevance in all fantasy formats until further notice.
