Toronto promoted Trey Yesavage to the majors and designated Ryan Borucki for assignment. Yesavage, 22, is the Blue Jays’ top prospect, posting a 5-1 mark with a 3.12 ERA across four minor-league levels and 22 starts. He’ll draw the series opener at Tampa Bay, a significant test for a pitcher with enormous fantasy upside but limited big-league track record. Borucki appeared in four relief outings after being signed post-Pirates release, clearing the way for Yesavage’s audition.

Toronto carries a four-game AL East lead over the Yankees, adding urgency to the promotion. The move signals a sharpening of Toronto’s rotation depth as Yesavage climbs to the majors, while Borucki’s DFA creates bullpen and roster questions. For fantasy managers, Yesavage’s debut is a high-upside pivot with risk, tempered by the Jays’ immediate playoff push.

Three bets anchor a playoff-minded Monday slate: Diamondbacks-Giants both teams to score 3+ runs, Yankees team total over 4.5 on the road, and Nationals-Braves both teams to score 3+ runs. Each wager leans on late-season forms, park quirks, and bullpen depth, with 1-unit plays and promos tied to DK, Caesars, and BetMGM.

These bets blend offense-driven angles with bullpen volatility at critical junctures, delivering value for savvy fantasy bettors eyeing run production and innings. Stay mindful of lineup shifts and travel fatigue as the chase for postseason spots intensifies.
