Ryan Yarbrough Shuts Down Dodgers in Victory
Ryan Yarbrough (3-0) held down the Los Angeles Dodgers' high-octane offense on Sunday to nab his third victory of the season. The Yankees won 7-3 behind a sterling six-inning effort from Yarbrough, who yielded one run on four hits while striking out five and walking none. With injuries ravaging their pitching staff, the Yankees signed Yarbrough to a low-risk deal worth $2 million shortly before the season began. The move has paid major dividends for the Yankees, as Yarbrough has given the club 41 1/3 innings of 2.83 ERA ball with 40 strikeouts and 11 walks. Yarbrough has been particularly effective since moving from the Yankees' bullpen to their rotation on May 3. In five starts since then, the 33-year-old has surrendered a paltry six runs on 16 hits with 24:5 K:BB across 26 frames. Despite his resounding success over the past month, Yarbrough remains a risky play for fantasy managers. His next start could come against a tough Boston Red Sox offense during the upcoming week.
