The Toronto Blue Jays found their newest postseason legend on Sunday.Rising up through the minor leagues at a rapid rate, the Jays' 2024 first-round draft pick, Trey Yesavage, has been one of the biggest stories of the entire postseason.Pitching 5.1 no-hit innings and earning a franchise-record 11 strikeouts in a postseason game, Yesavage put up a performance few Blue Jays fans would ever forget.But as much fun as his Game 2 performance in a win over the New York Yankees was for Blue Jays fans, it's hopefully one that the youngster will be able to build off of. After all, you don't win a World Series with just one good performance, but ideally a few strung together over the course of several playoff rounds.And in a sport where it's as much about your next game as the last one, fans are already wondering when they'll get to see their new star again.When can Yesavage pitch next for the Blue Jays?Although his first playoff game was historic, Yesavage has actual...
