Yesavage, 22, did not make his major league debut until Sept. 15 and went 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three regular-season starts. In his lone appearance during the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, Yesavage started and earned the win in Game 2 with 5 1/3 hitless innings while striking out 11 batters.
