Yesavage made his Major League debut on Sept. 15 and quickly became a key part of the Blue Jays starting rotation. When the 22-year-old steps on the mound on Friday, he will have made more career postseason starts (four) than regular-season starts.
In the postseason, Yesavage has a 2-1 record in three starts with a 4.20 ERA.
Yesavage beat the New York Yankees with 5.1 scoreless, hitless innings in Game 2 of the Division Series as he struck out 11. He lost Game 2 of the AL Championship Series when he allowed five runs in four innings, and then won Game 6 of the ALCS on Sunday when he gave up two runs in 5.2 innings.

Yesavage began the season at Class A Dunedin and rose through the minor leagues rapidly. Hewas promoted to High-A Vancouver on May 20, Double-A New Hampshire on June 12, and Triple-A Buffalo on Aug. 12.
Yesavage will be tasked with holding down a Dodgers lineup that is littered with All-Stars and MVP winners.
Snell, on the other hand, was limited to 11 starts this season. In those starts, he was excellent, as he had a 5-4 record with a 2.35 ERA in just over 61 innings pitched.

In 15 career postseason starts, Snell has a 7-3 record and a 2.58 ERA. He will be tasked with facing the Blue Jays, an opponent he is familiar with from his time with the Tampa Bay Rays.
In 16 career games against the Blue Jays, Snell has a 5-4 record with a 2.39 ERA in 79 innings.

If the Dodgers want to add their name to the history books as repeat champions, they are going to have to go through a strong Toronto Blue Jays team to do it.

]]>The Giants tabbed Tony Vitello, the manager of the University of Tennessee baseball team, to lead their clubhouse.
Vitello is the first person to become an MLB manager directly from the college ranks, without any prior major league experience.

Vitello managed the Volunteers from 2018 through this past season, winning the College World Series in 2024. Three members of the current Giants played at Tennessee under Vitello’s tutelage, with 2025 first-round pick Gavin Klein also a former Vol.
Buster Posey and the Giants moved on from Bob Melvin when the season ended. San Francisco went 81-81, a rather surprising finish after trading away nearly everyone they could at the deadline.

“I’m incredibly honored and grateful for this opportunity,” Vitello said in a release. “I’m excited to lead this group of players and represent the San Francisco Giants. I can’t wait to get started and work to establish a culture that makes Giants faithful proud.”
Posey added, “We’re thrilled to welcome Tony to the Giants family. Tony is one of the brightest, most innovative, and most respected coaches in college baseball today. Throughout our search, Tony’s leadership, competitiveness, and commitment to developing players stood out. His ability to build strong, cohesive teams and his passion for the game align perfectly with the values of our organization. We look forward to the energy and direction he will bring, along with the memories to be made, as we focus on the future of Giants baseball.”
Vitello played his college ball at the University of Missouri and went into coaching immediately after his playing career. Tennessee was his first managerial job after stops in the California Collegiate League, Missouri, TCU and Arkansas.
He went 341-131 in his tenure with the Vols, reaching the College World Series twice.
“It was one heck of a ride, Coach,” the official Tennessee baseball X account posted.

Ten players coached by Vitello at Tennessee went on to become first-round picks, with 52 total draft selections. Vitello was an assistant coach at Missouri while future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer attended the school.

]]>Despite the devastating blows to the pitching staff, the Cleveland Guardians rallied to win the American League Central, overcoming a double-digit game deficit in the month of September.
The Detroit Tigers got the last laugh, eliminating Cleveland in a Wild Card Series and forcing the Guardians to look to 2026.

However, one big question mark for next season still looms. Will Clase and Ortiz be available?
On Aug. 31, MLB extended the paid leave of Clase and Ortiz “until further notice while MLB continues its investigation.”
When asked if there was an update on the status of the pitchers, the league directed Fox News Digital to its August statement.
Fox News Digital asked the spokesperson how far along the investigation was or if there was an estimate on when it would conclude, and no update was provided.
The lack of an update comes two days before the World Series begins between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, where the biggest superstar in the Fall Classic — and arguably the sport — found himself in a gambling controversy last year.

Ultimately, it was ruled that Shohei Ohtani was actually a victim of fraud when his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, stole millions of dollars from him to pay off gambling debts. Ohtani was quickly absolved of any wrongdoing, but there remains no news on the Guardians pitchers three months later.
The Ortiz investigation was related to in-game prop bets on two pitches he threw in a game against the Seattle Mariners June 15 and the St. Louis Cardinals June 27. A betting integrity firm flagged the possible issue and forwarded it to the league.
Then, on June 27, more unusual betting action came in on a pitch from Ortiz in the top of the third inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. Once again, the bets were on a ball or a hit batsman, and Ortiz proceeded to spike another pitch the catcher couldn’t handle.
The firm flagged unusual betting action on the first pitch thrown by Ortiz in the bottom of the second inning to be a ball or hit batsman. Ortiz spiked a slider into the ground far away from the strike zone.

At the time of his leave, Clase had a 3.23 ERA on the season. In 2024, it was a minuscule 0.61.
Both pitchers attempted to play in the Dominican Winter League but were reportedly banned due to the probe.

During the Blue Jays’ 11-4 blowout win in the opener Friday, the crowd broke into a chant of “We don’t need him!” referencing Ohtani’s rejection of the Blue Jays’ recruitment offer in the winter of 2023, when he joined the Dodgers instead.
Ohtani didn’t get a hit until the eighth inning on Saturday, but it was a big one as it helped spark the Dodgers’ rally to extend the lead from 3-1 to 5-1.

The score held, as Ohtani’s fellow Japanese teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto earned the win, pitching a complete game for the second straight outing.
It was the first World Series complete game since Johnny Cueto in 2015 and the first time a pitcher has pitched a complete game in back-to-back postseason games since Curt Schilling in 2001.

Here is a look back at some of the biggest betting scandals in professional sports.
In 1920, eight members of the Chicago White Sox were indicted by a Chicago grand jury for fixing the 1919 World Series. It is known as the “Black Sox Scandal.” The jury returned a not guilty verdict on the players, but White Sox owner Charles Comiskey suspended the players, including “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. A year after the suspension, they were banned permanently by new baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.In 1946, Hockey Hall of Famer Babe Pratt was suspended for gambling. He was reinstated weeks later, with the NHL Board of Governors issuing a warning that any further instances of gambling would lead to a lifetime suspension for a player.In 1948, two years after the NHL Board of Governors’ warning, Billy Taylor and Don Gallinger were issued lifetime bans for betting on games.In 1951, four members of the Adolph Rupp-coached Kentucky Wildcats were accused of taking bribes from gamblers for an NIT game against Loyola in the 1948-1949 season. There were 35 active and former players accused of fixing at least 86 games between 1947 and 1951. An NCAA investigation found several violations, which led to the cancellation of Kentucky’s 1952-53 season.In 1989, Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose received a lifetime ban for gambling on games. Rose was found to have placed numerous bets on the Reds to win from 1985-1987 while he played and managed the team. He admitted to gambling in 2004 after years of claiming his innocence. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred posthumously removed Rose from the permanently ineligible list in May 2025, months after his death, allowing Rose to finally be considered for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rose is baseball’s all-time leader in hits with 4,256.

In 1996, 13 Boston College football players were suspended for gambling. Two of the players bet against their own team during a 45-17 loss to Syracuse. Head coach Dan Henning informed school officials upon hearing allegations of players placing bets with bookies and resigned. No evidence of point-shaving was found.In 2007, assistant coach Rick Tocchet was placed on two years of probation after pleading guilty to conspiracy and promoting gambling as an assistant coach with the Phoenix Coyotes. He was reinstated by the NHL the following season. Also, initially implicated in a gambling scheme titled “Operation Slapshot” involving a New Jersey-based ring were several players; Wayne Gretzky’s wife, Janet Jones; and Gretzky’s former agent and-then Coyotes general manager Michael Barnett. Tocchet is currently the head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers.In 2008, NBA referee Tim Donaghy pleaded guilty to wire fraud and transmitting betting information for taking thousands of dollars from a gambler in exchange for inside tips on games, including games he worked. He was sentenced by a federal judge to 15 months behind bars.In 2023, golfer Phil Mickelson was alleged to have wagered more than $1 billion over the last three decades in a book written by gambler Billy Walters. In the book, Walters wrote that Mickelson wanted to bet $400,000 on the 2012 Ryder Cup when he played for the United States. The six-time major winner denied betting on the Ryder Cup and wrote in a social media post that he has stopped gambling. Mickelson said he crossed the line from moderation to addiction.In 2023, Ottawa Senators forward Shane Pinto was suspended 41 games for sports gambling. The NHL said there was no evidence that Pinto bet on hockey, and Pinto did not reveal any details upon his return to the Senators.

In March 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers fired Ippei Mizuhara, the interpreter and close friend of newly acquired two-way star Shohei Ohtani, following reports regarding his ties to an illegal bookmaker. Three months later, Mizuhara pleaded guilty in federal court to bank and tax fraud for stealing nearly $17 million from Ohtani’s bank account. He spent the money to cover his growing gambling bets and debts with an illegal bookmaker, plus $325,000 worth of baseball cards and his own medical bills. Mizuhara capitalized on the language barrier to keep Ohtani’s financial advisers from understanding their client, and, at times, Mizuhara even impersonated the player to the bank to prolong the fraud.In April 2024, the NBA banned Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter after a league probe found he disclosed confidential information to sports bettors and wagered on games. Porter even bet on the Raptors to lose. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called Porter’s actions “blatant.” The investigation started after unusual gambling patterns about Porter’s performance on March 20, 2024, against the Sacramento Kings. The league determined Porter gave a bettor information about his own health status prior to that game and said that another individual — known to be an NBA bettor — placed an $80,000 bet that Porter would not hit the numbers set for him in parlays through an online sports book. That bet would have won $1.1 million.In June 2024, San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano was banned for life by MLB for betting on baseball. MLB said Marcano placed 387 baseball bets totaling more than $150,000 with a legal sportsbook in 2022 and 2023. The 24-year-old Venezuelan, with 149 games of major league experience, became the first active player in a century banned for life because of gambling.Also in 2024, Oakland Athletics pitcher Michael Kelly was suspended for one year for betting on baseball while in the minor leagues, and three minor leaguers were banned for one year for betting on big league games: pitchers Jay Groome of San Diego and Andrew Saalfrank of Arizona and infielder José Rodríguez of Philadelphia. Each of those four players wagered under $1,000. Saalfrank and Rodríguez played previously in the majors.

In February 2025, umpire Pat Hoberg was fired by MLB for sharing his legal sports gambling accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games and for intentionally deleting electronic messages pertinent to the league’s investigation. While MLB said the probe did not uncover evidence Hoberg personally bet on baseball or manipulated games, MLB senior vice president of on-field operations Michael Hill recommended on May 24, 2024, that Hoberg be fired. Manfred upheld Hill’s decision. Among the highest-rated umpires at judging the strike zone, Hoberg could apply for reinstatement no earlier than 2026 spring training. MLB said the friend made 141 baseball bets between April 2, 2021, and Nov. 1, 2023, totaling almost $214,000 with an overall win of nearly $35,000. Eight of the bets involved games where Hoberg was working.In July 2025, Major League Baseball placed Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary paid leave due to a gambling probe. Nearly a month later, two-time American League Reliever of the Year Emmanuel Clase joined him. MLB extended Clase and Ortiz’s paid leave “until further notice while MLB continues its investigation.” There was no update on the gambling probe at the time of this writing.In September 2025, the NCAA announced it was investigating potential violations of sports betting rules involving 13 former men’s basketball players who competed for Eastern Michigan, Temple, Arizona State, New Orleans, North Carolina A&T and Mississippi Valley State. The NCAA’s integrity monitoring program and network of sources flagged text messages and direct messages on social media platforms and revealed unusual betting activities for regular-season games. The violations include student-athletes betting on and against their own teams, sharing information with third parties for purposes of sports betting, manipulating scoring or outcomes and/or refusing to participate in the investigation.
