Yonny Chirinos Stats

The Tampa Bay Rays activated right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and placed right-hander Drew Rasmussen on the paternity list in a corresponding move. Chirinos has Tommy John surgery in August of 2020 and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since. In three different minor league stops during his rehab outing, he had a 5.12 ERA and 1.24 WHIP while striking out 14 and walking six in 19 1/3 innings over nine appearances (five starts). Given the 28-year-old's long layoff, he's unlikely to be used all that often down the stretch, but he could serve as the bulk pitcher behind JT Chargois on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox after Rasmussen was scratched.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) made his first minor league rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Friday and allowed an earned run on one hit while walking two and striking out one in three innings of work. Chirinos hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2020, when he made just three starts for Tampa. Since he's been out for such an extended period of time, he'll likely require more time in the minor leagues, and it remains to be seen if he'll be an option for the Rays rotation down the stretch. In 2019, the 28-year-old had a 3.85 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP and a 114:28 K:BB in 26 appearances (18 starts). It's a long shot that Chirinos will provide any fantasy value in 2022.

The Tampa Bay Rays placed right-hander Yonny Chirinos (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Friday to make room for outfielder Luke Raley, whom the Rays acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chirinos had Tommy John surgery in August of 2020 and is also recovering from surgery last September to fix a broken elbow. The valuable swing man is unlikely to be ready until closer to midseason, so he isn't fantasy relevant in spring drafts. The 28-year-old made just three starts for Tampa in 2021. Chirinos has been effective in his three seasons with the Rays, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with 199 strikeouts and 57 walks in 234 1/3 innings over 47 outings (28 starts).
