Toronto placed Vesavage on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to left knee inflammation.
After exiting in the third inning of his start in Tuesday's loss to the Astros due to left knee discomfort, Yesavage was sent in for an MRI on Wednesday. Though imaging doesn't appear to have revealed anything more than inflammation, the young right-hander will need to be shut down for at least the next two weeks. The Blue Jays had planned to move to a six-man rotation this week, but rather than replacing Yesavage, the team could simply get by a five-man rotation until Yesavage is ready to return from the IL.

Yesavage was removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros due to left knee discomfort, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Rotowire
Yesavage (4-5) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

Rotowire
Yesavage allowed four runs on one hit and seven walks while striking out one over 1.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Even before Saturday's performance, Yesavage had allowed 19 runs (18 earned) over his previous six starts spanning 36.1 innings, and his 29:15 K:BB in that span shows some warning signs. Overall this year, the 22-year-old is at a 3.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 69:39 K:BB through 75 innings over 14 starts this season.

Rotowire
Yesavage (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out three.

Despite a solid result, the 22-year-old has now issued five or more walks in three of his past five outings.

Yesavage didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks over 7.1 innings. He struck out six.

However, the right-hander allowed a run in the seventh before the Red Sox tied the game with back-to-back home runs to open the eighth. Despite the tough finish, it was a positive outing overall for the 22-year-old, who had given up 11 runs in 10.2 innings while issuing eight walks in his previous two starts. Overall, he has a 3-3 record with a 3.76 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB across 10 starts (55 innings) this season. Yesavage is currently slated to face the Astros at home his next time out.

The right-hander has surrendered five or more runs in three of his past four starts and has a 6.85 ERA and 18:17 K:BB across 22.1 innings during that span.
