Yesavage, Bloss among new names on Blue Jays' top 30 prospects list

There are some new faces at the top of the Toronto Blue Jays' prospects list.

MLB Pipeline updated its prospect rankings on Tuesday, and recent additions Trey Yesavage and Jake Bloss are listed as the No. 2 and No. 3 ranked prospects in Toronto's system respectively.

Yesavage, a 21-year-old right-handed pitcher, was selected by the Blue Jays 20th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. He had a 2.03 ERA and 145 strikeouts in 93.1 innings at East Carolina in the NCAA this year.

Bloss, who was recently acquired by the Blue Jays from the Houston Astros in the deal for Yusei Kikuchi, made his organizational debut with triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. He pitched 2.2 scoreless innings while striking out two batters.

      The 23-year-old right-hander made three MLB starts with the Astros in June and July, posting a 6.94 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 11.2 innings pitched.

      Toronto's No. 1 ranked prospect is Orelvis Martinez. The 22-year-old infielder is currently on the suspended list after he was dealt an 80-game suspension by MLB in June for violating the league’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

      Martinez tested positive for clomiphene, a performance-enhancing substance. His suspension will run through Toronto’s 156th game of the regular season. He will be eligible to return to play during the club’s final homestand, which includes a pair of three-game series against the Boston Red Sox and Miami Marlins.

      Left-hander Ricky Tiedemann, who started the year as the Blue Jays' No. 1 ranked prospect, fell to No. 4 on the list after struggling with injuries over the past two years. Tiedemann was ruled out for the remainder of the year after he underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this month. He pitched just 17.1 innings this season.

      The Blue Jays first-round pick in 2023, Arjun Nimmala, is the team's No. 5 ranked prospect.

      In addition to Bloss, six other prospects the Blue Jays acquired at the deadline were included among the top 30.

      No. 7 Jonatan Clase, acquired from Seattle for Yimi Garcia.
      No. 9 Charles McAdoo, acquired from Pittsburgh for Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
      No. 19 Eddinson Paulino, acquired from Boston for Danny Jansen.
      No. 20 Will Wagner, acquired from Houston for Yusei Kikuchi.
      No. 24 Cutter Coffey, acquired from Boston for Danny Jansen.
      No. 29 RJ Schreck, acquired from Seattle for Justin Turner.

      None of Toronto's prospects are ranked on MLB Pipeline's overall top 100 list.
