Ryan Yarbrough Experiment Fails First Trial
7 years agoTampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough was given his first chance to start one of the bullpen game for Tampa Bay Sunday versus Philadelphia. He lasted only 4 2/3 innings while giving up five runs (though only two earned) with two strikeouts. His previous two significant appearances were four-inning outings where he allowed one run each in relief. The Rays are off to a terrible start with their offense and defense both struggling. Yarbrough showed no signs that he will be a solution to those issues. There may be leagues deep enough to make use of him, but he should be avoided in the vast majority of leagues.
