Miguel Yajure News
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Miguel Yajure (back) will not be competing in the Arizona Fall League this year. The 23-year-old sustained a back injury late in the regular season and the team is being cautious with him. The Pirates are anticipating that he will be able to make a full recovery prior to Spring Training next year. Yajure is the team's 24th ranked prospect on MLB Pipeline. He made four appearances (three starts) with the Pirates this year and struggled to the tune of an 8.40 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. However, he performed well in the minors this year with a 3.40 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 47.2 innings split between Single-A and Triple-A.
Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed pitching prospect Miguel Yajure (forearm) has been feeling tightness in his forearm and will receive some extra days of rest while the team evaluates his health. The 23-year-old from Venezuela has started two games for the Bucs this season, allowing four earned runs on five hits while walking three and striking out eight in 9 1/3 innings of work. In three starts at the Triple-A level, he has a 3.71 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while fanning 17 and walking five over three starts (17 innings pitched). Yajure came over to Pittsburgh from the New York Yankees in the Jameson Taillon trade, and he's ranked as the team's No. 12 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He doesn't have excellent "stuff," but he has excellent command of his pitches, which allows him to generate plenty of weak contact. There's a limited ceiling here, but the Pirates will keep their fingers crossed that his forearm tightness doesn't lead to something more serious.
Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Miguel Yajure tossed five scoreless innings against the Giants on Friday, but did not factor into the decision in a 3-2 victory. Yajure allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out four in his second start of the season for Pittsburgh. Acquired in the trade that sent Jameson Taillon to the Yankees, Yajure now sports a 2.76 ERA and a 25.4 percent strikeout rate over 16 1/3 career innings in the majors. Managers shouldn't go rushing out to pick him up off the waiver-wire just yet, but he is an interesting pitcher to keep an eye on going forward. Managers in dynasty leagues should start looking into acquiring him.
