Availability
The Pirates placed RHP Kirby Yates on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.
Fantasy Impact
Yates had been pitching well since being acquired by Pittsburgh. He'll miss at least the next couple of weeks.
The Pirates activated Kirby Yates.
Fantasy Impact
Yates was acquired by Pittsburgh ahead of the trade deadline. He'll make an immediate impact in the bullpen for the Pirates.
The Angels have traded right-hander Kirby Yates to the Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Kyle Robinson.
Fantasy Impact
Yates is on the move once again, as the Pirates will be his fifth team since beginning of the 2023 season. The veteran has posted a 3.95 ERA in 31 outings for the Angels this season, collecting three saves in the process.
Kirby Yates allowed one hit in a scoreless frame to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Yates continues a steady stretch out of the bullpen of late, holding opponents scoreless in seven of his last eight contests. The right-hander offers manager Kurt Suzuki one of the more reliable options as part of an underwhelming Angels staff, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with three saves and a 12.00 K/9 ratio across 24 appearances.
Kirby Yates struck out one batter to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Yates continues a steady stretch out of the bullpen, holding opponents scoreless in seven of his last eight trips to the mound. The right-hander will look to provide manager Kurt Suzuki with more stability in the closer role out of the Angels bullpen, posting a 3.06 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with two saves across 21 appearances.
