Availability
Yesavage's 2025 debut was brief but intriguing, posting a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP across three starts with a 25.8% strikeout rate. The underlying profile jumps off the page: a massive 61.5% hard-hit rate allowed and 94.0 mph average exit velocity suggest his 0.0% HR rate and .273 opponent SLG were unlikely to hold over a larger sample. He did generate ground balls at a strong 56.4% clip, which could help him manage damage in Rogers Centre, but an 11.3% walk rate points to command volatility. The 2026 projections appear to price in regression toward league-average ratios with solid strikeout totals over a larger workload. Fantasy managers should view Yesavage as a high-variance upside arm — the swing-and-miss ability is real, but unless the contact quality improves, he's more of a late-round flier or watch-list candidate in standard formats rather than a draft-day priority.
