RYAN YARBROUGH NEWS

Roughed up in loss Yarbrough (0-3) took the loss Sunday against the White Sox, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks in 1.2 innings.

Impact Yarbrough was roughed up for four runs in the first inning and, after allowing two runs, was removed with two outs and the bases loaded in the second. It was the first time in 56 big-league starts that the lefty failed to complete two innings. The outing raised his ERA to 5.65 and WHIP to 1.53. He tentatively lines up to make his next start Saturday or Sunday in Minnesota, though Yarbrough could be moved to the bullpen if the Rays elect to keep a five-man rotation intact when Shane Baz (elbow) likely returns from the 60-day injured list this weekend.

Quality start in loss Yarbrough (0-2) took the loss, allowing three runs on six hits and two hit batsmen while striking out three in 6.2 innings of a defeat Tuesday in Texas.

Impact Yarbrough gave up three runs in the fourth inning on homers by Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia. He nearly completed the seventh inning but hit a batter and allowed a bunt single with two outs before being removed. It was his longest outing of the season by more than an inning. While the lefty has demonstrated good control over his career, walking 2.0 batters per nine innings, he has hit five batters in 27 innings this season after leading the league in beanballs two seasons ago.

Punches out five Yarbrough (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out five across 5.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Yankees.

Impact Yarbrough held the Yankees scoreless through five innings but struggled in his final frame. He allowed three of the first four hitters he faced to reach base and exited with runners on first and third -- both of which came around to score. It was the longest start of Yarbrough's season and his fourth consecutive outing having allowed two or fewer earned runs. Yarbrough has maintained a 3.98 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 20.1 frames on the season.

Lasts four innings Friday Yarbrough allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings during Friday's loss to the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact The 30-year-old worked behind opener Jalen Beeks during Friday's matchup, but Yarbrough held the Orioles in check while throwing 43 of his 56 pitches for strikes as the primary pitcher. Yarbrough's first three appearances in 2022 came as a traditional starter, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to that role in future outings. The left-hander tentatively lines up to take the mound at home against the Yankees on Thursday.

Working behind opener Friday Yarbrough is set to serve as a bulk reliever behind opener Jalen Beeks in Friday's game against the Orioles in Baltimore, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Even though Yarbrough has pitched well in his last two starts -- he allowed one run on six hits and four walks in 8.2 innings between the outings -- the 30-year-old has yet to record his first win of the season. Yarbrough would already have been well positioned to factor into the decision if he operated as a traditional starter against the 14-24 Orioles, but the Rays' choice to deploy him behind an opener should only increase his odds of capturing his first win. Beeks is expected to work no more than 2-to-3 innings before giving way to Yarbrough, who could end up pitching the rest of the game if he's able to retire hitters efficiently.

Five scoreless innings Yarbrough struck out four in five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk in a 2-1 loss Sunday in Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Yarbrough scattered four singles and pitched efficiently, tallying 68 pitches through the five frames. It was his first start and second appearance of the season after beginning the campaign on the injured list (groin). The start was vastly different from his first outing when he allowed five runs over 2.1 innings. His next appearance will likely be next weekend against Toronto and it's not yet known if he'll serve as the starter or follow an opener.

Working as traditional starter Yarbrough will start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Yarbrough was originally expected to follow J.P. Feyereisen in a bulk reliever role, but he will now serve as a traditional starter. Yarbrough struggled in his opening appearance of the season, surrendering five earned runs on six hits and three walks across 2.1 frames Tuesday against Oakland.
