Tampa Bay Rays reliever Ryan Yarbrough continued his reign as the king of the relief victory in 2018 on Sunday versus the Indians. He came in after the opener and went five innings allowing only one run. He would earn the win to move his amazing season total to 13. He is the first pitcher to win 13 games while making at least 75% of their outings from the bullpen since 1990. It was difficult at first to figure out what player was going to benefit the most from the unorthodox system of using openers and relievers but with 13 wins, it seems clear that Yarbrough has been taking advantage. Yarbrough is still hard to trust in shallower leagues but he has forced his way into relevancy in deeper formats.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will make the start Tuesday against the Marlins. It'll be the 26-year-old left-hander's fifth start of the 2018 season, and he's pitched to a decent 3.76 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while striking out 8.1 hitters per nine innings in 79 innings pitched. He makes for a decent streaming option against the weak-hitting Marlins on the road. The rookie tossed 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball in relief his last time out against the Astros.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough took a tough loss Thursday versus the Astros. He went 6 1/3 innings in relief of the opener Stanek and only allowed a single run. Yarbrough would still take the loss as that single run stood up in a 1-0 Houston win. Yarbrough fantasy value is interesting, depending on whether he will become a starter or spend more time as the follow-up who eats innings. Arguably, his value might be a little higher as the follow-up pitcher in games but he needs to pitch like Thursday and not like an earlier three appearance stretch where he allowed 13 runs in 15 innings.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Yarbrough had a rough outing Saturday versus the Yankees. He came in after opener Ryne Stanek recorded four outs with only a hit allowed. Yarbrough would then throw 97 pitches in the next 3 2/3 innings allowing four runs to take the loss. Among his struggles, his problem throwing strikes consistently has stood out. Yarbrough fantasy value is interesting, depending on whether he will become a starter or spend more time as the follow-up who eats innings. Arguably, his value might be a little higher as the follow-up pitcher in games but he needs to get back to his earlier form for it to matter.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryne Stanek will be the opener Saturday versus the Yankees. In terms of who the Rays are expected to turn to for the role of eating up the bulk of the innings, the leading candidate for Saturday is Ryan Yarbrough. Stanek's fantasy value is limited anyway, but starting limits it even further. He is very unlikely to pitch deep enough to be eligible for a win or a quality start. Starting also means he cannot even get a hold or a save. Stanek has next to no fantasy relevance except for in the deepest of AL-only leagues. Yarbrough fantasy value is interesting, depending on whether he will become a starter or spend more time as the follow-up who eats innings. Arguably, his value might be a little higher as the follow-up pitcher in games.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Ryan Yarbrough is slated to handle the majority of innings in Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals. Yarbrough has split his time between starting games and pitching out of the bullpen this season. However, this role of handling five to seven innings as a reliever appears to suit him. He has now pitched in this role in his last three outings, where he has pitched 19 innings with 21 strikeouts and just five earned runs. This role provides interesting fantasy value, as Yarbrough can supply pitching statistics you would expect from a starter without counting as a start in leagues. However, facing the Washington Nationals is a tough matchup, and Yarbrough is not someone you should be looking to use in shallow leagues Wednesday.

Yarbrough is scheduled to enter Wednesday's game against the Nationals in relief of starter Jonny Venters and absorb the bulk of the innings, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay Rays stating pitcher Ryan Yarbrough will play a part in the Rays latest experiment. With the Los Angeles Angels having a right-handed heavy top of the lineup, the Rays will start Sergio Romo and hope he can negate the right-handed hitters early. Yarbrough will then enter the game and hope to bridge the gap through to the rest of the bullpen. Yarbrough actually becomes an interesting fantasy option on Saturday, as his outing will not count as a start in a league with a starts limit. Yarbrough has a 3.93 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings this season, so he does have upside in this outing.
