Trey Yesavage (knee) threw a 30-pitch simulated game on Thursday.

Yesavage is working his way back from last month’s left knee meniscus surgery with the goal of helping Toronto’s potential postseason run. It seems unrealistic that he’ll return before the conclusion of the regular season, especially with only two weeks left on the calendar, but there’s optimism he’ll be ready to take the ball in October. There’s a slight possibility he’ll make it back for the final weekend of the year, but that’s hardly a reason for fantasy managers to stash him. He’s expected to make a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo in the coming days.
