Ryan Yarbrough News
The Tampa Bay Rays are leaving off pitchers Ryan YarbroughandNick Anderson (back) and outfielder Brett Phillips were left off the roster in the American League Divisional Series against the Boston Red Sox. Anderson continues to work his way from a lower-back strain and is considered day-to-day. Yarbrough struggled mightily in September, posting a 1-3 record along with a 9.00 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and a 13:4 K:BB across 21 innings over five appearances. The Rays will use Jordan Luplow as outfield depth over the veteran Phillips. The 28-year-old slashed .247/.345/.548 with an .893 OPS against right-handers in 2021.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (9-7) allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three across 4 2/3 innings during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros. He was tagged with his seventh loss of the season. The southpaw's biggest mistake was surrendering a three-run blast to Astros shortstop Carlos Correa in the fourth inning. Yarbrough has lost three of his last four appearances and owned an abysmal 9.00 ERA across 21 innings in September. Overall, Yarbrough finishes the 2021 season with a 5.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 117:27 K: BB over 155 innings.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (9-6) allowed two hits while striking out four over six scoreless innings during Friday's 8-0 win over the Miami Marlins. He didn't walk anyone and picked up his ninth win of the season. The southpaw followed opener David Robertson and cruised through six innings to earn the win. He fired 80 pitches, landing 54 for strikes. Yarbrough bounced back on Friday after surrendering 18 earned runs over his last three appearances. The 29-year-old owns a 5.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 114:26 K: BB over 150 1/3 innings in 2021. Yarbrough can be used as a streamer when he follows an opener in next week's series against the Houston Astros.

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.
