Yesavage threw a side session in Texas on Friday.

Giménez is feeling better but is out of the lineup today. He has been day-to-day with hamstring soreness since exiting Tuesday's game against the Tigers early.
Zwelling wrote on X : Andrés Giménez (hamstring) is feeling better but Blue Jays would like to give him one more day of recovery. Giménez is available off the bench on Friday but club would prefer to stay away from him if possible so he's ready to start on Saturday.
