Which Blue Jays pitchers return from rehab?

Yesavage and Berríos set for next rehab starts

Trey Yesavage and José Berríos are scheduled to take their next steps toward returning to the Toronto Blue Jays next week, continuing the rehab process that has kept both players out of the majors.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the pair will ramp up in the minor leagues with “next rehab starts,” a move that typically signals they are nearing the point where they can handle starter-level workload more regularly. For Toronto, that matters because two starting-caliber arms can help stabilize pitching rotations, improve depth options, and reduce bullpen stress.

In practical terms, rehab starts serve a specific purpose:

• Teams increase pitch counts and innings in controlled environments
• Medical staff monitor how the underlying issues respond to live effort
• Coaching groups evaluate command and consistency

The key question for Toronto is not just whether both pitchers are healthy enough to return, but whether their pitching form is ready for major-league hitters. A smooth rehab progression often predicts less downtime and a quicker integration back into the rotation.

For Blue Jays fans, this is the clearest timeline update in the current injury/rehab storyline. Next week’s minor-league outings should help clarify how soon each pitcher can be activated and what role they may take once they join the big-league staff.
