  Royals Sign Ryan Yarbrough To One-Year Deal Tuesday

  The Kansas City Royals reached a one-year deal with free agent pitcher Ryan Yarbrough Tuesday, per the team's Twitter page. Pitcher Wyatt Mills was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The 30-year-old lefty spent five seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, compiling a 4.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 19.2% strikeout rate. However, he only pitched 80 innings in 2022 before being designated for assignment, going 3-8 with a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. While Yarbrough could serve as a decent back-of-the-rotation option for the Royals, his lack of strikeouts combined with a new poor lineup supporting him limits his fantasy value.

  Ryan Yarbrough Designated For Assignment

  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.

  Ryan Yarbrough Done For The Regular Season

  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).

  Ryan Yarbrough Likely To Land On Injured List

  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.

  Ryan Yarbrough Likely Heading To Injured List

  Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) was pulled after one inning on Thursday, and manager Kevin Cash stated after the game that Yarbrough is likely heading to the injured list. The lefty entered the game in the second inning and was credited with the win despite giving up two runs on three hits and a walk before getting removed with what the team is calling an oblique strain. With less than two weeks of the regular season to go, it's likely that Yarbrough's season is over, and he'll finish with a middling 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 61 K's through 80 innings. Look for the team to make an official move on Friday ahead of their matchup with the Blue Jays.

  Rays Option Ryan Yarbrough To The Minors

  The Tampa Bay Rays optioned left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to Triple-A Durham on Saturday and recalled left-hander Garrett Cleavinger from the minors in a corresponding move. Cleavinger, who was acquired at the Aug. 2 deadline from the Los Angeles Dodgers, will provide a fresh bullpen arm. Yarbrough is likely to return to the Rays down the stretch, but he's been very inconsistent in 2022 for the Rays and fantasy managers. In 16 appearances (nine starts), the 30-year-old southpaw has gone 1-8 with a 4.87 ERA (4.49 FIP), a 1.38 WHIP and a 54:18 K:BB in 68 1/3 innings pitched. Cleavinger, 28, made just four relief appearances for the Dodgers before being traded, allowing five earned runs on six hits while walking three and striking out seven in 4 1/3 frames.
