Ryan Yarbrough News
The Tampa Bay Rays designated left-hander Ryan Yarbrough for assignment on Tuesday, and he'll likely be non-tendered by Friday's deadline, which would make him a free agent and able to sign with any team. Yarbrough ended his 2022 season on the injured list due to an oblique strain, and he struggled when he was healthy to the tune of a 4.50 ERA (4.77 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP, 61 strikeouts and 22 walks in 80 innings pitched over 20 appearances (nine starts). Yarbrough hasn't been as good in the last two seasons in Tampa, but he's mostly been an effective swing man in his five big-league seasons for the Rays. In his career, the 30-year-old southpaw has a 4.33 ERA (4.15 FIP), a 1.20 WHIP and a 467:131 K:BB in 579 2/3 innings over 127 outings (59 starts), all with the Rays.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) is done for the rest of the regular season and likely is out for the rest of the year after he suffered a right oblique strain in his Sept. 22 outing against the Toronto Blue Jays. Yarbrough landed on the 15-day injured list and has a projected rehab timetable of four to six weeks. It's unlikely that the Rays will have the services of the 30-year-old southpaw for a potential long playoff run this year. In 80 innings pitched for the Rays in 2022, Yarbrough posted a 4.50 ERA (4.78 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP, 61 strikeouts and 22 walks in 20 appearances (nine starts).
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) was pulled early during Thursday's start. The 30-year-old exited the game after only one inning after suffering a right oblique strain. The expectation is that the Rays will officially place Yarbrough on the injured list sometime on Friday. He wasn't pitching very well before that, so fantasy managers can go ahead and find a better option. Yarbrough will likely be done for the season, assuming he does get placed on the injured list.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough was finally utilized more as a starter than a follow-on pitcher, contrary to previous years and it suited him quite well. He didn't impress in the win column (the sole win was as a follow-on starter), but the supporting stats should cause some eyebrows to raise. Yarbrough had a 3.80 FIP, 1.19 WHIP and tied Kenta Maeda for the MLB lead (minimum 50 innings pitched) in Chase rate (40.8%). Many will frown at his 13.7% K-BB rate. However, his Chase and 13.3% Swinging Strike rate are encouraging of future improvements in strikeouts to accompany his stellar 5% walk rate. Yarbrough utilized a four-pitch mix and it is his least throw pitch, slider, that gets the most strikeouts (35%) while his changeup forces batters to expand the strike zone (44%). Yarbrough also attempted to alleviate any concern as a starter by holding batters to a .229 AVG the third time through the order (3.00 ERA), despite a .304 BABIP. Blake Snell and Charlie Morton are no longer in Tampa Bay which leaves Yarbrough a stable spot in the rotation. He is a great option near pick 255 to help stabilize the ratios, assuming you've already hedged your strikeout numbers.
