TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have decided to not start any of their pitchers on short rest to fill a hole in their rotation.
Trey Yesavage will start for the Blue Jays on Friday in Detroit, a spot starter will take on the mound Saturday, and ace Kevin Gausman will finish out the series against Sunday, his scheduled start date.
Because Toronto has Thursday off there was the possibility of moving Gausman up to play on Saturday, with the rest of the Blue Jays’ rotation bumping up a day too.
Manager John Schneider says he’s not sure who will start on Saturday, but it could be a call up from Triple-A, a free agent signed over the next few days, or even a pitcher yet to be traded for.
