The Toronto Blue Jays provided encouraging injury updates involving two of their most promising young arms on Tuesday.

Standing in front of the assembled media scrum a few dozen feet from the parking lot at the player development complex in Dunedin, Fla., Blue Jays manager John Schneider revealed top pitching prospect Trey Yesavage has received clearance to begin the next phase of his deliberately slow build-up this spring. He’ll make his first game action appearance on Wednesday at the PDC, aiming for “two-ups” (also known as two innings) against minor-league hitters in a simulated environment.

They’ll take things from there with Yesavage, gauging his next steps based on how he recovers from his two-inning simulated game. It’s possible he could throw another live BP after that or even make his long-awaited Grapefruit League debut.

In any case, with Opening Day nearly two weeks away, this is a crucial step for the 22-year-old rookie phenom, who projects to be built up to 3-4 innings early on.

Aside from the Yesavage news, Schneider also said Ricky Tiedemann resumed throwing at the complex on Tuesday after being shut down for the last few weeks due to left elbow soreness. Now that he’s seemingly in the clear, the 23-year-old southpaw will continue “ramping up” through the rest of this week.

Nothing has changed in the Shane Bieber (forearm) or Yimi García (elbow) department, as Schneider added, reiterating that both rehabbing hurlers remain on similar timelines right now. They’re each rotating between “lighter and heavier” workloads in camp, although none of those drills include mound work yet.

While the club feels good about the progress they’re making, both Bieber and García will begin this season on the injured list. Until either begins throwing off a mound, mapping out potential return timelines won’t be possible.

You can also include Louis Varland in the group of pitchers being brought along slowly this spring, which, of course, after setting a new post-season record of 15 relief appearances last fall, makes plenty of sense. He’s scheduled for an inning of work on Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves, following starter Dylan Cease out of the bullpen.
