Ryan Yarbrough News
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will make the start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, according to manager Kevin Cash. The veteran lefty is scheduled to make two starts this week, which could make him an intriguing fantasy pickup. Sadly, Yarbrough has been fairly disappointing on the mound through his first 46 2/3 innings this season. He could be a possible benefit to fantasy managers desperate for pitching help, but don't expect him to be a savior.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough struck out four batters in 3 1/3 scoreless innings of work against the Yankees on Wednesday. In his second appearance against the Yankees this season, Yarbrough limited them to just two hits once again, as he has allowed just one run on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings against New York this year. Over his last five appearances now, Yarbrough has a 2.63 ERA, 1.125 WHIP and 22 percent strikeout rate in 24 innings of work. He's been much better this year working behind an opener (2-0, 1.00 ERA, 23.6 K%) than when he starts (0-3, 6.75 ERA, 15.5 K%), so he could be considered a potential streaming option when he pitches behind an opener.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (vaccine) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Friday due to side effects from receiving the vaccine, according to Justice delos Santos of MLB.com. In a corresponding move the team recalled catcher Kevan Smith from the taxi squad. Yarbrough should only be out a day or two, as he'll look to improve from his sluggish start to the year in which he's posted a 4.58 ERA and 17.8 percent strikeout rate in 37 1/3 innings of work.

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.
