Rays Designate Yonny Chirinos For Assignment
1 year agoThe Tampa Bay Rays designated right-hander Yonny Chirinos for assignment on Monday. Chirinos gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster to begin the week after going 4-4 with a 4.02 ERA (5.52 FIP), 1.24 WHIP, 20 walks and 31 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings pitched over 15 appearances (four starts) for the Rays. In 4 2/3 frames of relief against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday, he allowed three runs on three homers while walking none and striking out one. Chirinos really struggled in his four starts this year, allowing 17 runs (15 earned) on 23 hits while walking eight and fanning 10 in 21 innings. The Rays won't need the 29-year-old now that left-hander Shane McClanahan (back) has returned from the injured list.
