Sent to Triple-A Yajure was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.
Impact Yajure's demotion doesn't seem to be performance-related, as he threw five scoreless innings against the Giants on Friday, allowing just a single hit. The Pirates evidently don't have any opportunities for him at the moment, but he's seemingly pitched well enough to earn another start soon. Kyle Keller was recalled in a corresponding move.

Tosses five shutout innings Yajure threw five scoreless innings against the Giants on Friday, allowing just one hit and a walk while striking out four. He was not involved in the decision.
Impact Yajure was very solid in just the second start of his young major league career. The 23-year-old was involved in a classic pitcher's duel against Kevin Gausman and allowed just one hit, ironically coming off the bat of Gausman himself. The right-hander now owns a 3.86 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 9.1 innings but faces a tough test in his next scheduled start in a road matchup against Atlanta's powerful offense.

Called up to start Friday Yajure was recalled by the Pirates to start Friday's game against the Giants.
Impact Yajure will make his second start of the season and of his career. He allowed four earned runs on four hits and two walks across 4.1 innings in his first start at Detroit, but he has shown strong run prevention skills throughout his time in the minor leagues. Geoff Hartlieb was sent to Triple-A Indianapolis in the corresponding move.

Sent to alt site The Pirates optioned Yajure to their alternate training site Thursday.
Impact Pittsburgh had designated Yajure as its 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Tigers. He started the second game of the twin bill in his Pittsburgh debut, working 4.1 innings and giving up four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four in a loss. Yajure will be a candidate to make spot starts for the Pirates later this season if injuries hit the team's rotation.

Yields four runs in Pirates debut Yajure (0-1) took the loss against Detroit in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings.
Impact Yajure made three appearances in relief for the Yankees last season, and Wednesday's outing was his first as a starter in the majors. He gave up a Niko Goodrum solo homer in the third inning but entered the fifth having yielded only one run. Things quickly fell apart for the right-hander in that fifth frame, however, as he allowed a leadoff blast to Jonathan Schoop along with two walks and a double before exiting. Overall, Yajure finished with four earned runs charged to his ledger, and he tossed 60 pitches (37 strikes) over 4.1 frames. The Pirates play only six games in the next eight days, so Yajure is likely to be sent back to the team's alternate training site rather than sticking in the rotation.

Impact One of the main pieces the Pirates took back in the Jameson Taillon trade over the winter, Yajure will be making his Pittsburgh debut and first MLB start after he previously made three relief appearances for the Yankees in 2020. The Pirates have presumably kept Yajure stretched out at the alternate site in preparation for a rotation role at Triple-A Indianapolis, but since the doubleheader game is only seven innings, the 22-year-old could be pulled at the first sign of trouble. He'll likely be headed back to the alternate site following the spot start.

Reports to minor-league camp The Pirates optioned Yajure to their minor-league camp Wednesday.
Impact One of the main pieces the Pirates received in the January trade that sent Jameson Taillon to the Yankees, Yajure drew positive reviews in his first camp with the Pirates. Over his four relief appearances, Yajure gave up three runs in six innings while striking out seven and limited opposing hitters to a .182 average. He'll likely open the season at Triple-A Indianapolis, but Yajure should receive a look with the big club at some point in 2021.

Looks good Tuesday Yajure hurled two scoreless innings against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing no hits or walks while striking out a pair.
Impact While the 22-year-old is expected to start the season at Triple-A, he could find his way to PNC Park this summer. He offers a fastball in the mid-90s and a four-pitch repertoire. Yajure pitched in two games for the Yankees on an emergency basis in 2020, but he's totaled only 11 innings above High-A ball in the minors.
