Blue Jays' Spencer Arrighetti: Takes loss in bulk-relief role
Rotowire
Arrighetti (7-8) took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two across 3.2 innings.
Spencer Miles drew the start for the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and Arrighetti took over in the third inning after Ricky Tiedemann pitched the second. Arrighetti kept the Guardians off the board until the fifth inning, when he gave up a two-run homer to Patrick Bailey, and the former did not receive enough run support from his Blue Jays teammates to avoid the loss. Arrighetti has been tagged with the loss in each of his first three outings with the Blue Jays, allowing nine runs (eight earned) on 10 hits (including three home runs) and five walks while striking out 10 batters across 11 innings. He could be used as a starter or in a bulk-relief role this weekend on the road against the Royals.

Rotowire
Manager John Schneider said Yesavage (knee) will throw his first bullpen Friday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Yesavage has been throwing off flat ground, but is about ready to take the next step Friday. When he has his bullpen session Friday, it will be about three weeks since he had surgery Aug. 11 to repair his torn meniscus. The right-hander is eyeing a return before the end of the season.

Blue Jays' Jameson Taillon: On track to start Friday
Rotowire
Taillon (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, and if that goes well, will be in line to start Friday's game in Kansas City, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Coming back from right forearm tendinitis, Taillon gave up four earned runs while throwing 48 pitches over 3.1 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo last Friday. The Blue Jays had left open the possibility of Taillon making one more rehab start, but as long as he comes out of Tuesday's side session without any hiccups, he'll rejoin the rotation this weekend. Taillon hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in nearly a month, so he will not be ready for a full workload Friday.

Blue Jays' Sean Keys: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Blue Jays recalled Keys from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old was called up for his first taste of the majors in late June and had a .467 OPS in 12 games before returning to Buffalo a month later. Manager John Schneider said last week that Keys would begin playing some left field at Buffalo, but the top prospect still seems likely to see most of his action at first or third base for the Blue Jays.

Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Turns back clock in gem
Rotowire
Scherzer (2-7) earned the win against the Mariners on Sunday, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 10.
Seattle didn't get into the hit column until the fourth inning in a vintage performance by the 42-year-old right-hander. It was easily Scherzer's best outing of the season -- he recorded season bests in innings, hits allowed and strikeouts -- and he even passed Gaylord Perry for ninth all-time in career punchouts. He'll look to build on Sunday's showing his next time out in Kansas City, where he'll take a 6.16 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 46:26 K:BB over 57 innings.

Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Trending toward late-September return
Rotowire
Manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Yesavage (knee) continues to play catch off flat ground, and the Blue Jays are still hoping the right-hander can return from the 15-day injured list in late September, MLB.com reports.
After undergoing left meniscus surgery Aug. 11, Yesavage was cleared to begin a throwing program about a week later. While he's said to be showing good range of motion with his knee, the Blue Jays haven't yet given him the green light to advance to mound work. Yesavage still has enough time to get cleared for game action before the end of the season, but if he ends up returning in the final week or two of September, he won't be stretched out enough for a full starting role.
