Jimmy Yacabonis

Jimmy Yacabonis picked up his second win in his second appearance of the season on Wednesday, taking over for the Mets after Max Scherzer was ejected in the fourth inning. Yacabonis allowed one run over two and two-thirds innings with one strikeout.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran middle reliever was called up last week and has struck gold with two wins in less than four innings of work. There's nothing here for fantasy purposes, but a cool story nonetheless.

Rays opener Jimmy Yacabonis allowed one unearned run in the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Braves. He surrendered a walk and ground-rule double in the process. Tampa Bay ultimately fell to Milwaukee by a score of 5-3.

Fantasy Impact

Yacabonis' run was considered unearned because the runner moved from first to second on his throwing error before scoring on the double. The right-hander is 1-1 with an alarming 8.18 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, and .327 OBA through 11 innings this season. He has racked up 13.91 K/9 and 4.91 BB/9 along the way.

Jimmy Yacabonis (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Padres after surrendering five runs on five hits over 2 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked one.

Fantasy Impact

Yacabonis mostly pitches in long relief for the Orioles and now has a 5.96 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with 18 strikeouts through 25 2/3 innings on the year. Yacabonis can be left on the waiver wire by fantasy owners.

Jimmy Yacabonis allowed one run in three innings of relief and picked up the win against the Yankees on Saturday. Yacabonis gave up three hits and two walks while recording a pair of strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact

Yacabonis spent last season bouncing between Baltimore and Triple-A but seems to have found a home in a long relief role with the team this season. Yacabonis does not have any real fantasy value in his current situation.

Jimmy Yacabonis is viewed as a starter by Orioles manager Brandon Hyde but could also be used in long relief, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Fantasy Impact

Yacabonis, 26, has a career 5.04 ERA, and a 1.48 WHIP across 30 1/13 innings pitched. He doesn't appear to be the favorite to win a rotation spot and will have minimal fantasy impact in either role.
