The Blue Jays will face the Tigers in Lakeland, featuring a roster with several regulars absent but plenty of depth. Key names like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer are present, while Trey Yesavage is set to make his spring debut on the mound.
Regarding the rookie pitcher, Schneider confirmed that Yesavage will be ramped up deliberately, likely starting the season with 3-4 innings pitched. The team plans to handle this workload at the major league level rather than in Triple-A, prioritizing gradual progression over immediate high-stress innings.
