Huascar Ynoa - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs in Mexican League Ynoa signed a contract with the Leones De Yucatan of the Mexican League on Monday.

Impact Ynoa was cut loose by the Twins in April after allowing five earned runs in 4.1 innings at Triple-A St. Paul. The 26-year-old will now continue his playing career south of the border and could get looks from MLB organizations again if his time in Mexico goes well.

Released by Minnesota Ynoa was released by Minnesota, Brandon Warne of Locked on Twins reports.

Impact Ynoa made 31 appearances (24 starts) in the majors for Atlanta from 2019 through 2022, but he hasn't seen big-league action since while missing extensive time due to Tommy John surgery and a shoulder injury. He threw just seven innings in the minors in 2024. He'd given up five runs with seven walks and one strikeout in 4.1 innings at Triple-A St. Paul before his release.

Sent to minor-league camp The Twins reassigned Ynoa to minor-league camp Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Ynoa made 31 appearances (24 starts) in the majors for Atlanta from 2019 through 2022, but he hasn't seen big-league action since while missing extensive time due to Tommy John surgery and a shoulder injury. The 26-year-old righty linked up with the Twins on a minor-league deal in December and has enjoyed good health in the spring, but his mediocre numbers in the Grapefruit League (5.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 4:2 K:BB in 4.2 innings) prevented him from making a serious run at an Opening Day roster spot. Ynoa worked one inning or less in each of his five spring appearances, perhaps signaling that the Twins intend to deploy him out of the bullpen at Triple-A St. Paul after he had mostly been used as a starter during his time in the Atlanta organization.

Healthy start to spring Ynoa retired both batters he faced Monday and has thrown 2.2 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and a walk this spring.

Impact Ynoa missed considerable time in 2024 while tending to elbow inflammation and a shoulder injury, but he finished the past season healthy, as he was able to make six rehab appearances at Triple-A in September. He'll likely be moved to a relief role at Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season.

Could make spring debut Wednesday Ynoa (shoulder/elbow) is listed as an available reliever for Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After being non-tendered by Atlanta over the winter, Ynoa caught on with the Twins on a minor-league deal. Ynoa missed considerable time in 2024 while tending to elbow inflammation and a shoulder injury, but he finished the past season healthy, as he was able to make six rehab appearances at Triple-A Gwinnett in September, including two of at least two innings. Ynoa has worked as a starter for most of his professional career, but with injuries having limited his availability in recent years, the Twins may be preparing him for a multi-inning relief role at Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season.

Minor league deal with Minnesota Ynoa has signed a minor-league contract with Minnesota, Stephanie Apstein of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact After missing the 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Ynoa opened the 2024 campaign at full health and occupied a spot in Triple-A Gwinnett's rotation, only to be shut down in mid-April with elbow inflammation before he hurt his shoulder in August during a rehab assignment. Ynoa was signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Twins at age 16, so he returns to a familiar franchise. He could be a nice depth piece for the Twins if he can return to full healthy this spring.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No contract from Atlanta Ynoa (elbow/shoulder) was non-tendered by Atlanta on Friday.

Impact Ynoa has battled arm injuries for much of the last two seasons, posting only a combined 29.2 innings across all professional levels. He's expected to be healthy for the start of the 2025 campaign, so a team may be willing to give him a chance during spring training.

NOVEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes rehab assignment Ynoa (elbow/shoulder) will resume a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact Ynoa was initially working his way back from Tommy John surgery but has had setbacks with both his elbow and more recently his shoulder. He's been cleared for game action again and will hope to ramp things up in time to help Atlanta down the stretch.

Rehab assignment halted Atlanta returned Ynoa (elbow) from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to right shoulder tightness, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Impact Ynoa underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2022 and pitched during spring training before starting the season at Triple-A Gwinnett. However, he was moved back on the injured list with elbow inflammation in late April and had completed five rehab outings before being returned Saturday with a shoulder injury. It's unclear how severe the setback will be, but Ynoa had thrown at least three innings in three consecutive minor-league outings and seemed close to being activated. In those three appearances, Ynoa allowed just one run with eight strikeouts across 9.2 innings .

Shifts rehab assignment to Triple-A Ynoa (elbow) struck out two batters and gave up one hit and one walk over three scoreless innings Sunday in his rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact Atlanta moved Ynoa's rehab assignment to its top affiliate after the right-hander made two- and 1.1-inning starts in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on July 16 and 22, respectively. Ynoa will likely need another start or two before he gets fully stretched out, but Atlanta isn't expected to open up a spot for him in the big-league rotation once he completes his rehab assignment. Instead, look for Atlanta to option him to Gwinnett upon his activation from the 60-day injured list.

Goes two innings in rehab outing Ynoa (elbow) failed to record a strikeout and gave up one earned run on two hits and no walks over two innings in his rehab outing Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex Leagu...

Impact Ynoa's appearance Tuesday was his first at any level since April 14, as he's been on the mend from a right elbow stress reaction for the past three months. He'll likely require the entire 30-day rehab window to get fully stretched out before he's activated from the 60-day injured list, at which point Atlanta will likely option him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

JULY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment in FCL Atlanta sent Ynoa (elbow) to their Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact It will be Ynoa's first game action since he went down with a right elbow stress reaction in mid-April. The right-hander should eventually move back up to Triple-A Gwinnett once the club decides he's ready. Ynoa hasn't pitched at the major-league level since 2022, having missed all of 2023 following Tommy John surgery.

JULY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could make spring debut Saturday Ynoa (elbow) is available to make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday against the Pirates in relief, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Ynoa missed the entire 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September of 2022. He started throwing bullpen sessions in mid-February, but was downgraded to long tosses while dealing with right elbow soreness. Ynoa appears healthy enough to at least be available to pitch in relief in Saturday's contest.

Avoids arbitration Ynoa (elbow) signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with Atlanta on Friday to avoid arbitration.

Impact Ynoa missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2022. There have been no updates regarding his status for spring training, but a return at some point this season is likely. The 25-year-old holds a 5.22 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 122.1 career innings.

JANUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back on 60-day IL Ynoa (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 27.

Impact Ynoa finished last season on the 60-day IL after he underwent Tommy John surgery in September, so his move back there to open 2023 was inevitable. The 24-year-old is expected to miss the entire season but could be ready for spring training in 2024.
