  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Gets $3.9 million from Dodgers

    The Dodgers and Yarbrough avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.9 million contract Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

    Yarbrough was in his final year of arbitration eligibility. The left-hander held a 4.52 ERA and 67:14 K:BB over 89.2 frames for the Royals and Dodgers in 2023.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Not on NLDS roster

    Yarbrough isn't listed on the Dodgers' roster for the NLDS, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Yarbrough turned in an ugly performance in his season finale, surrendering nine runs in four innings while striking out just two batters en route to a loss Sept. 28 against Colorado. He'll end up being passed up for the postseason roster while Emmet Sheehan and Michael Grove both earn spots.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Pummeled in Colorado

    Yarbrough (8-7) allowed nine runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings to take the loss versus the Rockies on Thursday.

    Yarbrough had allowed just eight runs over his first 15.1 innings in September, but a trip to Coors Field was responsible for his worst outing of the season. It inflated his ERA to 4.52 with a 1.23 WHIP and 67:14 K:BB through 89.2 innings between the Dodgers and the Royals. The southpaw will likely operate as a long-relief option during the Dodgers' postseason run.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Gets starting nod Thursday

    Yarbrough is listed as the Dodgers' probable starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    The southpaw will be making just his second start for the Dodgers since being acquired in an Aug. 1 deal with the Royals, but he should be able to provide Los Angeles with plenty of length. He's worked three-plus innings in nine of his 10 outings with the Dodgers, pitching to a 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 36:4 K:BB over 34.2 innings. With a strong showing Thursday, Yarbrough could cement a spot in the Dodgers' postseason rotation, but he'll otherwise fill a key relief role if he misses out on a starting role.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Mops up in loss to Giants

    Yarbrough struck out five and was charged with two earned runs on five hits and one walk over 3.2 innings in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

    Yarbrough was one of two bulk relievers the Dodgers used behind opener Caleb Ferguson, who exited the contest after one inning. Right-hander Gavin Stone then came on and gave up three earned runs over 4.1 innings before Yarbrough finished out the contest. Since the Giants raced out to a 3-0 lead while Stone was on the mound, Yarbrough was spared the loss. Yarbrough now holds a 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 36:4 K:BB over 34.2 innings in 10 outings since being acquired from the Royals on Aug. 1.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Could piggyback Sheehan

    The Dodgers could deploy Yarbrough as a piggyback pitcher behind starter Emmet Sheehan in Thursday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    While manager Dave Roberts hasn't revealed how he plans to manage his pitching staff in the series opener, piggybacking the right-handed Sheehan with the left-handed Yarbrough would make sense. The Dodgers are cognizant of managing the rookie Sheehan's workload and haven't had him cover more than five innings in the majors or minors since July 29, so having him toss three or four frames before exiting the contest may be Roberts' preferred approach. Additionally, having Yarbrough enter the contest in the middle innings would help the Dodgers neutralize a Giants lineup that often contains four lefty bats in Michael Conforto, Joc Pederson, Mike Yastrzemski and LaMonte Wade. Yarbrough last pitched Sunday, but he should be capable of giving the Dodgers three or four innings on three days' rest, if necessary.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: In line for bulk relief

    Yarbrough is expected to serve as a bulk reliever in Friday's game versus the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Caleb Ferguson will be the Dodgers' opener. It's possible the team will use a right-hander in between Ferguson and Yarbrough in order to break up the lefties, but Yarbrough looks to be in line to eat up the bulk of the innings.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Earns win in return

    Yarbrough (8-6) earned the win Sunday over the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings.

    Yarbrough was recently away from the team to attend the birth of his daughter, though he was not officially placed on the paternity list. He was strong in his return, with the lone misstep being a J.P. Crawford RBI single in the second inning. Yarbrough has pitched to a 2.90 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 31:3 K:BB over 31 innings since he was traded from the Royals to the Dodgers. He's found success as a bulk reliever and will likely continue in that role. Given his typical schedule, he should be available again for his next appearance during next weekend's four-game series against the Giants.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Heading to paternity list

    Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Yarbrough will be placed on the paternity list in the near future, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Yarbrough started Sunday's game against the Nationals and allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five in four innings. However, he'll now be away from the team for at least three days following the birth of his child. The Dodgers are expected to make the move official Monday and plan to call up Gavin Stone from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding transaction.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Set to pitch Sunday

    Yarbrough will pitch for the Dodgers on Sunday against the Nationals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Yarbrough will either work behind an opener as a bulk reliever or make a traditional start, but regardless, he's slated to handle a good chunk of the innings for Los Angeles. The 31-year-old left-hander has an impressive 2.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB in 22.1 frames of long relief since being acquired from the Royals at the trade deadline.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Goes four innings for save

    Yarbrough allowed four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four shutout innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Yarbrough continues to serve as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen, and this marks the second time in six appearances as a Dodger that he logged a save of three-plus innings. He's maintained a 1.86 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB over 19.1 innings with his new team, and he's also collected three wins while still roughly operating every fifth day or so. Yarbrough is at a 3.58 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 45:10 K:BB through 70.1 innings overall when accounting for his time with the Royals. If Ryan Pepiot sticks in the rotation beyond Wednesday, Yarbrough may often serve as a piggyback for the young right-hander.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Collects three-inning save

    Yarbrough allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over three innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.

    Yarbrough allowed a solo home run to Carlos Santana to start the seventh inning, then retired the next nine batters in a row. The three-inning outing earned Yarbrough his first major-league save. The southpaw has allowed two runs over 10.1 innings across his three appearances with the Dodgers, though it appears he's going to remain in a long-relief role with the rotation in a healthier state than when he arrived a couple of weeks ago. For the year, he's at a 3.82 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB through 61.1 innings between the Dodgers and the Royals.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Covers bulk innings

    Yarbrough allowed a run on three hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 4.1 innings as the bulk reliever in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Padres. He did not factor in the decision.

    Yarbrough's no stranger to working behind an opener in his career, and the Dodgers appear to want to continue that, at least for now. It worked in his team debut, though the bullpen couldn't maintain the lead after an eighth-inning meltdown. Yarbrough has started seven of his 15 appearances this season, posting a 4.07 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB through 55.1 innings while earning a 4-5 record. With Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) expected back next week, Yarbrough may have to settle for a more traditional multi-inning relief role unless the Dodgers want to go with something resembling a six-man rotation.

  • Dodgers' Ryan Yarbrough: Dealt to Dodgers

    The Dodgers acquired Yarbrough from the Royals on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league infielders Devin Mann and Derlin Figueroa, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    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, who have been relying on youngsters Bobby Miller, Emmet Sheehan and Michael Grove to round out the back end of the rotation but may be keen on managing their innings down the stretch.

  • Royals' Ryan Yarbrough: 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.

    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 (called strikes plus whiffs) and has continued to be a pleasant surprise for the Royals since returning from the IL on 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.
