Nearing bullpen session Yarbrough (groin) could throw a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Yarbrough will need to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list due to his groin injury, but it's encouraging that he'll be able to resume mound work soon. The southpaw won't pitch during the Rays' road series against the Cubs, but it's possible he'll be able to rejoin the rotation sometime during the weekend series against the Red Sox in Tampa Bay. Yarbrough's injury isn't regarded as particularly serious, but Cash said the team is exercising caution to prevent against a more significant issue.

Impact The 30-year-old was only expected to miss one start after landing on the shelf April 11, but that no longer appears to be the case given he has yet to throw off a mound. Yarbrough apparently hasn't suffered a setback, and manager Kevin Cash hopes the lefty can get back on the mound within the next couple days.

Short absence expected Yarbrough (groin) isn't expected to miss more than one start during his stay on the injured list, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Yarbrough's season debut was pushed back slightly after he hit the injured list with a groin issue Monday, but both he and the Rays believe he won't miss much time. Ryan Thompson was recalled in a corresponding move, though it's Tommy Romero who's expected to temporarily take his place in the rotation.

Officially moved to IL The Rays placed Yarbrough (groin) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Impact Tampa Bay recalled reliever Ryan Thompson from Triple-A Durham to serve as a temporarily replacement on the 28-man active roster for Yarbrough, who injured his left groin at some point leading up to his scheduled start for Tuesday against the Athletics. Yarbrough's 2022 debut will thus be put on hold, and his absence from the rotation will likely open up a starting role for prospect Tommy Romero. Tampa Bay added Romero to its taxi squad Monday, but the team may wait until Tuesday before formally adding him to the roster and having him start later that day.

Heading to injured list Yarbrough is dealing with a minor groin injury and will be placed on the 10-day injured list as a precautionary measure, John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact The southpaw hadn't yet made his 2022 debut and will have to wait to do so as a result of his injury. Tommy Romero will be recalled from Triple-A Durham to fill in while Yarbrough is sidelined. It's not yet clear whether the 30-year-old Yarbrough will be forced to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf.

Not included on ALDS roster Yarbrough isn't on the Rays' ALDS roster, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Yarbrough will be available in an emergency situation as part of the team's taxi squad, but he was a notable exclusion from the roster following a slow finish to the season. The southpaw posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 21 innings across his final five starts of the year, and it's not yet clear whether he'll return if the Rays advance to the ALCS.
