Dealt to Dodgers Yarbrough was traded from the Royals to the Dodgers on Tuesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact It's unclear what the Dodgers are sending back, but it could just be cash or a throw-in prospect. Yarbrough, 31, has a 4.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 29 strikeouts in 51 innings this season while working as both a starter and a bulk reliever. He will likely occupy a long-relief role while making the occasional spot start for the Dodgers.

Picks up fourth win Yarbrough (4-5) earned the win over the Twins on Sunday after allowing one run on seven hits while striking out five over seven innings.

Impact Yarbrough's five strikeouts tied his season high, and the seven innings was the longest he's gone this year. He generated 12 whiffs and a 32 percent CSW and has continued to be a pleasant surprise for the Royals since returning from the IL July 9. In four starts since then, Yarbrough's posted a 2.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB in 24.2 innings. The southpaw currently lines up for a tough test against the Phillies on the road next weekend.

Tosses six innings in win Yarbrough (3-5) yielded one run on six hits over six innings Monday, striking out one and earning a win over Cleveland.

Impact Yarbrough fired five scoreless frames before the Guardians finally broke up the shutout in the sixth inning. He's given up five runs across 17.2 frames (2.55 ERA) in three starts this month since returning from the 60-day injured list. The 31-year-old lefty lowered his season ERA to 4.70 with a 24:9 K:BB through 44 innings this season. Yarbrough is currently projected for a home matchup against the Twins this weekend.

JULY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for next start Yarbrough (hamstring) will start Monday's game against the Guardians at Progressive Field.

Impact Yarbrough had to exit midway through the sixth inning of his most recent start Wednesday against the Tigers after developing a cramp in his left hamstring, but he was quickly able to move past the issue. He'll return to the hill Monday on his usual four days' rest and will carry a 5.21 ERA and 1.26 WHIP into the contest.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with cramp Yarbrough was removed from his start Wednesday against the Tigers due to a left hamstring cramp, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Yarbrough appeared to have tweaked something before walking off the field with trainers, and it's now been confirmed to be his hamstring giving him problems. Yarbrough is tentatively scheduled to pitch again Monday against Cleveland, and he figures to be ready to go by then.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits with injury Yarbrough left his start during Wednesday's game against Detroit with an apparent injury, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact It's unclear what exactly is bothering Yarbrough, but he left the game alongside the Royals' training staff after presumably tweaking something. More information should be released shortly, but Yarbrough should be considered day-to-day for now. The 31-year-old lefty had surrendered three runs on six hits while striking out four batters through 5.2 innings.

JULY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets another start Yarbrough is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Tigers at Kauffman Stadium.

Impact As expected, Yarbrough will stick around in the Kansas City rotation after he returned from the 60-day injured list in impressive fashion in the Royals' final game before the All-Star break July 9. He worked six innings against the Guardians that day, striking out five while allowing one earned run on six hits and one walk en route to claiming his second win of the season. Before missing two months after suffering multiple fractures to his head when he was struck by a line drive in a May 7 outing, Yarbrough had accrued a 6.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 6.2 K-BB% in 26.1 innings, so his overall body of work doesn't inspire much confidence for his fantasy outlook moving forward despite his strong showing versus the Guardians.

JULY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in return from IL Yarbrough (2-4) got the win over the Guardians on Sunday, allowing just one run on six hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings.

Impact Yarbrough was fantastic in his return to the mound, allowing just one extra-base hit and tying his season-high with five strikeouts. It was the first time he's reached six innings in four starts, though he was only one out short in his last start before being forced to leave the game. The 30-year-old will head into the break with a 5.29 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB over 32.1 innings and should stick in the rotation for the time being until Zack Greinke (shoulder) and Brad Keller (shoulder) are able to return from their respective injuries.

Activated for Sunday start The Royals reinstated Yarbrough (head) from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday in Cleveland.

Impact Kansas City designated reliever Amir Garrett for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Yarbrough, who was on the shelf for close to the 60-day minimum after exiting a May 7 start versus the Athletics when he was struck on the head by a line drive. Yarbrough suffered multiple fractures to his head but demonstrated rapid progress in his recovery and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 19. After running up a 2.55 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB in 17.2 innings over the course of four starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and at Triple-A Omaha, Yarbrough will take back his spot as the Royals' No. 5 starter.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Sunday The Royals will reinstate Yarbrough (head) from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game in Cleveland, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Yarbrough will be returning to the Kansas City rotation for his first start since May 7, when he exited an outing against Oakland midway through the sixth inning after being struck on the head by a line drive. The veteran southpaw suffered multiple head fractures and was eventually moved to the 60-day IL, but he'll be cleared to return in close to the minimum amount of time on the heels of a successful rehab assignment. Between stops in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and at Triple-A Omaha, Yarbrough submitted a 2.55 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB in 17.2 innings. He built up to six innings and 81 pitches in his most recent outing for Omaha on Tuesday and shouldn't face any major workload restrictions in his return to the big leagues.

JULY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses six scoreless frames Yarbrough (head) struck out six over six scoreless innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Omaha. He scattered three hits and issued one walk in the 81-pitch outing.

Impact Yarbrough was placed on the 15-day injured list May 8 after suffering multiple head fractures when he was struck by a line drive a day earlier in his start with the Royals. He was later transferred to the 60-day IL, but based on how he's fared thus far during his rehab assignment, Yarbrough looks like he could be ready to rejoin the Royals when he's first eligible for activation this weekend. Between one start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and three at Omaha, Yarbrough has stringed together a 2.55 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB in 17.2 innings. The Royals have confirmed starting pitchers for the first three games of their four-game set in Cleveland this weekend, but Yarbrough might be called upon to fill the opening Sunday.
