Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage had surgery to repair damage to his left meniscus on Tuesday, but manager John Schneider isn't ruling him out for the season and will continue to evaluate his recovery over the next few weeks. Yesavage, 23, hasn't pitched since exiting an Aug. 4 start against the Houston Astros in the second inning. He is 5-5 with a 3.65 ERA and 91 strikeouts over 18 starts this season. Yesavage was the 20th pick overall in the 2024 MLB Draft by Toronto out of East Carolina, and he set a Blue Jays' postseason record last October striking out 11 in 5 1/3 no-hit innings against the New York Yankees in the ALDS.

In another move, the Blue Jays placed right-hander Jamison Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis. Taillon, 34, was traded to Toronto from the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 2 and underwent an MRI after exiting his first home start after four scoreless innings on Monday. He is 2-6 with a 5.68 ERA and 75 strikeouts in 17 starts this season.

The Blue Jays recalled right-hander Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding roster move. Toronto entered Tuesday's games 3½ games behind the Texas Rangers for the final wild-card spot.
