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.

Monday’s schedule stacks a Monday Night Football doubleheader with a nine-game MLB slate. The sportsbook model leans Tampa Bay to win outright at +128 in the MNF matchup, while MLB bets center on Washington’s +144 against Atlanta and an Over 8 in Pittsburgh vs Chicago. Player props highlight Junior Caminero (Over 1.5 total bases) and Aaron Judge (Over 0.5 RBI). These bets shape early-week fantasy angles and daily fantasy leverage.

Washington’s momentum vs. a faltering Braves squad, plus the Pirates-Cubs run expectation, creates value opportunities. The night’s prop slate adds a cherry on top for DFS lineups and paras, with Caminero and Judge providing likely multi-positional upside.

George Springer is enjoying arguably one of the best seasons of his career, powering Toronto with a team-leading 29th homer and 75 RBIs as his .949 OPS ranks top among the Jays’ star-stacked lineup. The veteran’s presence is described as the spark that elevates the whole group, a vibe manager John Schneider calls essential to their win-big, have-fun identity.

Meanwhile, 22-year-old Trey Yesavage is set for a Monday MLB debut in Tampa Bay, a calculated move to keep the momentum rolling after an 11-2 throttling of Baltimore. Yesavage soaked in the moment and even leaned on Shane Bieber’s advice: be yourself, throw strikes, and enjoy the moment. Toronto frames this as adding talent, not experimenting, as they push toward the final stretch with a deep, adaptable roster.

The Jays finished an 87-62 mark with a 50th home win and a sweep-heavy homestand against Houston and Baltimore that further cements their place in a crowded AL landscape with two weeks left in the regular season.
