The Toronto Blue Jays are in a white-knuckle playoff race, just 1.5 games behind the final wild card spot with nine games left—and they’re locked in a tense three-game series against the Texas Rangers this weekend. A win could vault them past Texas, but they’ll need other teams to stumble too. Meanwhile, key pitcher Trey Yesavage, sidelined since August with knee surgery, is expected back Sunday or Monday. Though his rehab start wasn’t flawless, he’s a vital piece who helped carry the Jays to last year’s postseason glory. He might start as an opener or come in as a reliever—either way, his return could be the spark this team needs to make it back to the playoffs for the second straight year.
