During a recent press conference, Schneider stated that it is likely that Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber will get the starts for game 2 and 3 which would give the Blue Jays the same starting rotation as in the ALDS.
John Schneider says that Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber likely line up for Games 2 and 3, but nothing is official.

«For the record, Trey wasn't pitching in Game 4 I don't know if I said that.» #BlueJays
Schneider did not confirm the starts but stated there is a high probability that this go with this order.
The Blue Jays manager also clarified that there was no chance that Yesavage went into game 4 against the New York Yankees in the ALDS as he was just used as a decoy.
Not confirmed, but John Schneider says it's a «definite possibility» that Trey Yesavage would start G2 ALCS followed by Shane Bieber G3.

Schneider also notes that "Trey wasn't pitching in Game 4" against the Yankees. He was a decoy.
The first 3 starters for the Blue Jays is no big surprise but now the big question is who will start game 4 since the Blue Jays decided to add Scherzer and Bassitt to the roster.
