Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage exited Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Houston Astros with left knee discomfort.

Yesavage walked off with a trainer after attempting to warm up for the third inning.

The 23-year-old rookie was replaced by right-hander Chad Dallas after recording two scoreless innings with a walk.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Yesavage will go for an MRI on Wednesday.

"It's just a pinching sensation where he couldn't really stabilize perfectly," Schneider said postgame when asked about the starter's injury, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.

Yesavage owns a 3.65 ERA with 1.14 WHIP and 91 strikeouts over 93 2/3 innings (18 starts) this season.

Yesavage rose to stardom after dominating in last year's playoffs, helping the Blue Jays reach the 2025 World Series.
