Trey Yesavage (right shoulder) has rejoined the Toronto Blue Jays to determine where he’ll make his next start, manager John Schneider revealed prior to Friday’s series opener against the Cleveland Guardians.

The 22-year-old Yesavage was back in the Blue Jays’ clubhouse pre-game after making four rehab appearances, two each with Single-A Dunedin and Triple-A Buffalo, and is slated to meet with Schneider in the next day or two. That’s when all parties will decide if he’ll require one final rehab start or return to the major-league rotation.

While the results aren’t as important with rehab outings, it’s notable that Yesavage struggled with his command last time out with the Bisons, issuing four walks on top of allowing four runs (two earned) on two hits over 2.1 innings on Tuesday. He was ultimately pulled with one out in the third inning after throwing his 34th pitch of the frame, departing with the bases loaded.

This has essentially been like spring training for the young right-hander, so the Blue Jays have placed more emphasis on the quality of his stuff (pitch velocity, shape, etc.), and Schneider continues to reiterate that the organization has been pleased with all his under-the-hood readings thus far.

Yesavage is due to make his next start early next week, likely Monday if it’s with the Blue Jays — and potentially Sunday or Tuesday if it’s back with the Bisons.

Schneider also provided updates on José Berríos (right forearm), George Springer (left toe), Addison Barger (left ankle) and Yimi García (right elbow) during his pre-game meeting with local reporters on Friday.

Berríos will have his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A Buffalo, where he’ll make his next start on Tuesday, likely aiming for around 75-80 pitches over five innings. If everything runs smoothly, that could serve as his final rehab appearance before rejoining the Blue Jays’ staff off the injured list.

The 31-year-old righty dominated during Wednesday’s Single-A rehab start, striking out five hitters across four innings of three-hit ball with Dunedin. He topped out at 55 pitches in that impressive outing, landing 37 as strikes.

Springer could return from his 10-day IL stint in the next day or so, according to Schneider. The 36-year-old has continued to test his pain tolerance with hitting and dynamic running drills, but the biggest hurdle that he’s yet to clear is running the bases — which he’s slated for this weekend at the Rogers Centre.

Down in Dunedin, Fla., at the club’s player development complex, Barger continues to progress with “running, throwing and hitting” while being away from the team. Schneider revealed he advanced to hitting off the Trajekt pitching machine on Friday and will soon face live pitching.

Similar to Springer, though, Barger hasn’t resumed running the bases yet. That’ll be his “last step” before heading off on a rehab assignment — something the Blue Jays skipper confirmed Springer won’t require before returning.

After throwing at the PDC on Wednesday, García is scheduled to throw another live BP session early next week, and assuming he checks off everything he needs to, the next step could be mapping out a rehab assignment. They’re currently in the early stages of that process, but have already determined that he’ll need at least three rehab appearances.

The good news is that García won’t have to pitch on back-to-back days before activation from the IL. If he can handle pitching two out of three, that’ll suffice to prove he’s ready to rejoin Toronto’s bullpen, which, now that it’s operating without a designated closer, could certainly benefit from having him back in the mix.
