The Toronto Blue Jays have relied heavily on players coming from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons over the past few seasons.
Addison Barger, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Braydon Fisher, and more have spent some time with the Blue Jays’ Triple-A team in the past two seasons. Although quite a few of these players have gone on to earn a permanent spot on the roster, there are still a handful of prospects who could earn a call-up at some point this season.
Let’s look at five players who could make their big league debut in 2025!

Riley Tirotta

Drafted in the 12th round of the 2021 draft, Riley Tirotta broke out in the Blue Jays organization in 2024. Between Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A, Tirotta slashed .247/.385/.433 with 15 home runs in 444 plate appearances for a 126 wRC+, including a 111 wRC+ in Triple-A.
In his first full season with the Bisons, Tirotta is slashing .275/.361/.431 with 11 home runs in 338 plate appearances, with an 11.8 BB% and a 31.7 K% for a 114 wRC+. While the strikeout rate is high, Tirotta offers a ton of versatility, as he’s played significant time at first base, third base, and right field this season.
The 26-year-old has also found moderate success on the base paths, stealing 12 of the 14 bases he’s attempted to steal this season.

Yohendrick Piñango

Before the trade deadline in 2024, the Blue Jays sent former Top 100 pitching prospect Nate Pearson to the Chicago Cubs for two prospects: shortstop Josh Rivera and outfielder Yohendrick Piñango.
The outfielder has been the better of the two, as he’s slashing .258/.359/.449 with 14 home runs between Double-A and Triple-A. Piñango has struggled a bit in Triple-A, slashing just .222/.316/.383 with six home runs in 207 plate appearances, but his batted ball metrics are quite impressive according to Prospect Savant.
While the Blue Jays have a logjam of outfielders around the big leagues, if Piñango can return to the success he had before being called up to Triple-A, he could earn a call-up as soon as next season.

RJ Schreck

Another player the Blue Jays acquired before the 2024 trade deadline was RJ Schreck, moving Justin Turner to the Seattle Mariners for the outfielder.
Schreck has had the same trajectory as Piñango in 2025, starting the season with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats before a move to the Buffalo Bisons. So far in 276 plate appearances, Schreck is slashing .267/.400/.493 with 13 home runs for a 157 wRC+.
Unlike Piñango, Schreck has found success at the Triple-A level, as he’s slashing .290/.402/.507 with four home runs in 83 plate appearances, with a 12 BB% and 19.3 K% for a 146 wRC+. He’s missed some time with injury, but he’s had an impressive season.

Trey Yesavage

Switching gears to pitchers, it seems like a matter of when, not if the Trey Yesavage is with the Blue Jays. The 2024 first-round pick has had a rapid ascent in the Jays system, owning a 2.97 ERA and 2.52 FIP in 75.2 innings pitched, with a 41.9 K% and 10.1 BB%.
Yesavage has also found success in recent times with the Fisher Cats, with his most recent start seeing him fire four innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts. It wouldn’t be surprising if he reaches Triple-A in the coming weeks, before potentially making his big league debut in the final weeks of the season.
Either way, expect Yesavage to be a part of the Jays’ rotation sooner rather than later.

Adam Macko

Left-handed pitcher Adam Macko is one of the most MLB-ready pitching prospects the Blue Jays have. Acquired in the Teoscar Hernández trade in November 2022, Macko has put up some solid results in his first two seasons.
Starting the year on the Injured List with knee surgery, Macko hasn’t had the best tenure with the Buffalo Bisons, as he has a 5.92 ERA and 4.63 FIP in 38 innings pitched, or 10 starts. He’s also walked 16.4% of batters as opposed to striking out 18% of batters.
There’s a positive sign, though, as Macko has given up just two earned runs over his past 13 innings pitched, striking out 11 batters and walking 13. If he can get his walk rate down, he could be an option out of the bullpen in September.
Of the five prospects on the list, Macko is also the only prospect currently on the 40-man roster, meaning no player would need to be designated for assignment to add him.
