Yonny Chirinos Stats

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Yonny Chirinos (elbow) has undergone Tommy John surgery and his season is now over. The typical recovery time for Tommy John surgery is 12-15 months and it will be a while before the 26-year-old returns to live action as manager Kevin Cash expects him to miss all of the 2021 season. Chirinos has been a reliable arm for the Rays and owns a career 3.65 ERA in 47 games (28 starts). Chirinos has operated more as an opener than a traditional starter and there is no clear replacement for him.

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Yonny Chirinos most recent stint on the injured list will be even longer than originally anticipated. Manager Kevin Cash revealed Friday that Chirinos will need to undergo Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow, which will not only end his 2020 season, but 2021 as well. Chirinos has proven himself valuable in any role to Tampa Bay over the past three years, compiling a 3.65 ERA in 47 appearances (28 starts). In the short-term, the team is tabbing Josh Fleming to make a start this weekend against Toronto. Owners in all season-long formats can drop Chirinos to the wire and anticipate a comeback at the start of the 2022 year.

Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Yonny Chirinos has been placed on the 10-day injured list for the second time in 2020, this time due to a strained right elbow. Chirinos had previously been dealing with a triceps issue, having delivered a 2.38 ERA across his first three starts. The move adds another injury (Charlie Morton, Brendan McKay) to the Tampa Bay rotation, further heightening the workload for the clubs relief corps. Despite his encouraging numbers, Chirinos has yielded a 5.26 FIP and .321 xBA, which when coupled with his latest malady, makes the case for leaving him on the waiver wire in virtually all season-long formats.
