Yonny Chirinos - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains in rotation Chirinos is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Angels at Truist Park, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact He'll go head-to-head with the Angels' Lucas Giolito as both pitchers make their second starts for their new teams. In his Atlanta debut this past Friday against the Brewers, Chirinos lasted just 3.2 innings while giving up four runs on six hits and one walk, but he induced 10 swinging strikes on 61 pitches, good for a season-best 16.4 percent rate.

Escapes with no-decision Chirinos came away with a no-decision in Atlanta's 10-7 win over the Brewers on Friday, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Making his Atlanta debut after being claimed off waivers from the Rays last weekend, Chirinos did little to discourage his new club from trying to add more rotation depth at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old right-hander has a 4.34 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB through 66.1 innings on the season, and he could find himself bumped to the bullpen or even off the big-league roster when Max Fried (forearm) is ready to return.

Making Atlanta debut Friday Chirinos is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Brewers in Atlanta.

Impact Chirinos will be making his Atlanta debut Friday after the club claimed him off waivers from Tampa Bay last weekend. The 29-year-old had often worked as a primary pitcher out of the Rays bullpen this season, but he's expected to fill a traditional starting role for an Atlanta squad that has had its rotation depth tested. He'll carry a 4.02 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into Friday's contest.

Set to work as starter Chirinos will serve as a starter for Atlanta, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Chirinos was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Sunday, and the team sent Mike Soroka to the minors as part of a corresponding move. Max Fried (forearm) will also make another rehab start this week, so Chirinos will have an opportunity to showcase his skills as a starter. The right-hander made 15 appearances (four starts) for the Rays earlier this year and posted a 4.02 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 62.2 innings.

Claimed by Atlanta Chirinos was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Chirinos was designated for assignment by Tampa Bay on Monday and will now join the team with the best record in baseball. The right-hander worked as a swingman for the Rays and had a 4.02 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 31:20 K:BB across 62.2 innings, though he surrendered 18 earned runs in his past 24.1 frames before being DFA'd. Max Fried (forearm) is closing in on his return from the injured list, so Chirinos seems likely to start out in the bullpen with his new organization.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped from 40-man roster The Rays designated Chirinos for assignment Monday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Impact Tampa Bay had been treating Chirinos as its de facto No. 5 starter heading into the All-Star break, but the right-hander was summoned in long relief of starter Zach Eflin during Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Royals and proceeded to give up three earned runs on four hits -- including three home runs -- in 4.2 innings. Due to his 50-pitch workload, Chirinos wasn't likely to be available for at least a few games, and his lack of freshness and poor peripherals on the season (5.31 SIERA, 4.2 K-BB%) provided enough reason for Tampa Bay to remove him from its 40-man roster. The Rays reinstated lefty Shane McClanahan (back) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in relief Chirinos (4-4) allowed three earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out one across 2.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Phillies.

Impact Of the eight hits Chirinos allowed, four went for extra bases. After a successful start to his stint in the majors beginning June 8, he has now allowed 15 earned runs across his last 18.2 innings of work. The Rays may need to continue to get creative with their rotation due to the number of injuries they're currently dealing with, but Chirinos hasn't been a solution of late.

JULY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Working in bulk relief once again Chirinos is slated to work as a bulk reliever behind opener Zack Littell in Wednesday's home game versus the Phillies, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Littell and Chirinos worked in tandem successfully during Chirinos' most recent turn through the rotation last Thursday against the Diamondbacks, so manager Kevin Cash will stick with the arrangement once again this week. After Littell tossed two scoreless frames in Arizona, Chirinos came on to pick up the win while striking out four and allowing one earned run on four hits and three walks over six innings out of the bullpen.

JULY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns win in bulk role Chirinos (4-3) earned the win in Thursday's 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks. He allowed a run on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings.

Impact After Zack Littell opened the game with two scoreless innings, Chirinos delivered six strong frames out of the bullpen, allowing just one run on a Lourdes Gurriel homer. It was an encouraging effort from the 29-year-old Chirinos after he was tagged for eight runs in his last outing against the Royals. Chirinos lowered his ERA to 3.64 with a 1.20 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB through 54.1 innings this season.

Handling bulk-relief role Thursday Chirinos is slated to work in bulk relief during Thursday's game in Arizona, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Chirinos was deployed as a traditional starter his last time out Saturday versus the Royals, but after he allowed a season-high eight earned runs across 5.1 innings in that outing, the Rays will hope to get better results from him by having him enter Thursday's contest out of the bullpen. Zack Littell will likely work an inning or two as the Rays' opener before giving way to Chirinos.

JUNE 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hit around by Royals Chirinos (3-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Royals. He struck out three.

Impact Chirinos allowed a season-high eight runs Saturday, including a solo homer to Drew Waters in the third and a three-run shot to Freddy Fermin in the fourth. With a handful of the Rays' starting options on the 60-day injured list, Chirinos has been thrust into the rotation for four starts, where he's posted a 6.43 ERA with a 10:8 K:BB while going fewer than six innings in each appearance. Though he will likely stick around in the Rays rotation for a while, Chirinos isn't a trustworthy option in most formats.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Handed second loss Chirinos (3-2) took the loss Sunday versus the Padres, allowing five runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings.

Impact Chirinos made his third start of the year but wasn't able to replicate his success from his previous outing. The right-hander didn't get help from his defense Sunday, and he needed 90 pitches (52 strikes) to get 14 outs. He's now at a 2.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP And 20:14 K:BB through 43 innings over 10 appearances. Chirinos has occasionally worked behind an opener this season, which would likely help him qualify for more wins. He's projected to make his next appearance at home versus the Royals in a favorable matchup.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed for start Saturday Chirinos will start Sunday's game against San Diego, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Chirinos will get the ball after throwing 3.2 scoreless innings versus Oakland on Tuesday. The right-hander will get a chance to pick up a win and a few extra innings while not working behind an opener for Sunday's series finale against the Padres.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches well Tuesday Chirinos allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 3.2 scoreless innings Tuesday versus the Athletics. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Chirinos covered the most innings of the five pitchers the Rays used in a 2-1 loss. This was his first scoreless outing since April 23. It's unclear if Chirinos will be deployed as a traditional starter or work behind an opener going forward. He's pitched to a 2.35 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB through 38.1 innings over nine appearances (two starts) this season. Regardless of the usage, he's lined up for a weekend appearance on the road in San Diego if he remains a part of the Rays' rotation.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in win Chirinos (3-1) earned the win Thursday, allowing one run on five hits over 5.2 innings against Minnesota. He struck out four and did not walk a batter.

Impact Chirinos (3-1) was steady over 5.2 innings with the exception of a leadoff homer he surrendered to Carlos Correa in the fourth after hanging a slider in the middle of the zone. He followed up that mistake with back-to-back strikeouts and would only allow one more hitter to reach base before being relieved by Jake Diekman in the sixth. The right-hander posted a season-high four strikeouts and did not walk a batter for the first time since April 29. With Josh Flemming on the injured list (elbow), it wouldn't be surprising if Chirinos sticks around in the Rays' rotation for the time being, especially given his impressive outing against Minnesota.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled for Thursday's start Chirinos was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Chirinos will start Thursday's game against the Twins as Tyler Glasnow gets pushed back a day. The right-hander has put up a 2.79 ERA over 29 innings with the big club this season, although that's also come along with an 11:11 K:BB.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Durham Tampa Bay optioned Chirinos to Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

Impact Chirinos gets the boot from the active roster after allowing three runs over 4.2 innings against the Mets on Tuesday. The Rays added Nick Burdi to their bullpen in a corresponding transaction. Chirinos will all but assuredly be back to operate as a "bulk" reliever in the coming weeks.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in win column Tuesday Chirinos (2-1) got the win over the Mets on Tuesday, allowin three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings.

Impact Chirinos qualified for the win after Jalen Beeks pitched two scoreless innings and handed the ball off to him in the third. Two of the three hits he gave up were home runs. Brett Baty took him deep in the fifth and then Pete Alonso crushed a two-run blast in the seventh. Chirinos has strictly been used as a bulk reliever in seven appearances this season and overall, he has been successful in that role. He has an unsightly 11:11 K:BB ratio but owns a respectable 2.79 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 29 innings.

MAY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set for bulk relief Tuesday Chirinos is in line to handle bulk relief work Tuesday against the Mets, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Jalen Beeks will open for the Rays. This will be Chirinos' fourth appearance since moving into Tampa Bay's rotation, although just one of them over that stretch has been a traditional start. He holds a 2.22 ERA this season but also has an unsightly 9:10 K:BB over 24.1 innings.

MAY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Handed first loss Chirinos (1-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out a batter over five innings.

Impact Chirinos replaced Jalen Beeks to begin the third inning and kept the Orioles off the board until the sixth. He allowed back-to-back hits and a walk to load the bases before Adam Frazier's groundout to second and Austin Hays' single drove in a pair of runs. Chirinos would come back out for the seventh and send the Orioles down in order on just seven pitches. The 29-year-old now owns a 2.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 9:10 K:BB over 24.1 innings. He's expected to take the bump again next week against the Mets.
