Tosses six innings in no-decision Yarbrough allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Angels. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Yarbrough coughed up RBI base hits in the fourth and sixth innings, including an RBI double by Shohei Ohtani. Despite not getting a win, it was his first quality start in his last three outings after giving up five runs in each of his previous two. He lowered his ERA to 4.48 through 86.1 innings. Yarbrough is lined up to face the Blue Jays on the road next weekend.

Falters as bulk reliever Yarbrough covered two innings as a primary pitcher and didn't factor into the decision Tuesday in the Rays' 9-5 loss to the Red Sox in 11 innings. He gave up five runs on five hits...

Impact Yarbrough looked in line to take his first loss since April 30 after exiting with a 5-2 lead, but the Rays offense rallied for three runs in the bottom of the fifth before Boston broke the tie in extras. The southpaw has now been blitzed for 10 runs between his last two outings, raising his season ERA from 3.88 to 4.59. Yarbrough isn't in danger of losing his spot in the rotation, but the Rays could continue to deploy him behind an opener when his next turn comes up in an attempt to coax better results out of the 29-year-old.

Pitching behind opener Yarbrough will work as a primary pitcher behind opener Andrew Kittredge in Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yarbrough will function as a bulk reliever for the fifth time this season, with his other 10 appearances coming in a traditional starting role. Entering the game out of the bullpen could result in Yarbrough's innings count being slightly lower, but it should increase his chances of factoring into any decision. In his prior four appearances as a bulk reliever, Yarbrough has allowed two runs on 12 hits and five walks while striking out 17 over 18 innings.

Impact It was a rough outing for the lefty, who had allowed no more than three earned runs in seven consecutive starts before Wednesday. Yarbrough, now with a 3.91 ERA on the season, holds even greater importance in the Rays' rotation now that Tyler Glasnow (elbow) is looking at an extended absence. He's projected to make his next start Tuesday against the Red Sox, who shelled him for nine runs (six earned) on April 7.
