• Jordan Yamamoto: Hanging up cleats

  03/13/2023 • By RotoWire

  Yamamoto announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he has decided to retire from professional baseball. Yamamoto's decision comes just one week after the Dodgers reassigned him to minor-league camp after he was unable to claim a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old right-hander made 21 appearances (19 starts) in the majors from 2019 through 2021, logging a 6.05 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 96.2 career innings between the Marlins and Mets. Yamamoto struggled mightily in 2022 in stops with three of the Mets' minor-league affiliates, and rather than facing the likelihood of another year on the farm in the Dodgers organization, he's elected to close the door on his playing career.

  Yamamoto signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday. It's not clear whether Yamamoto has been given an invitation to major-league spring training. The 26-year-old spent all of 2022 in the minor leagues with the Mets, with his most extensive action coming at Double-A Binghamton where he posted a 4.55 ERA over 31.2 innings.

  Yamamoto cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports. Yamamoto owns a carer 6.05 ERA in 96.2 major-league innings, so it's no surprise to see him go unclaimed on waivers. He'll remain in an organizational depth role in the minors for now.

• Mets' Jordan Yamamoto: Designated for assignment

  The Mets designated Yamamoto for assignment Tuesday. Yamamoto failed to land a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster, and he'll now lose his spot on the 40-man roster ahead of the regular season. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll be a candidate to provide rotation depth this year if the Mets' pitching staff deals with additional injuries.

• Mets' Jordan Yamamoto: Sent back to minor-league camp

  03/19/2022 • By RotoWire

  Yamamoto was re-assigned to the Mets' minor-league camp Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. The right-hander wasn't expected to break camp on the big-league roster anyway, but the quick exile is likely due to the shortened spring training schedule and a lack of innings for the Mets' established arms. "We need to get him stretched out," manager Buck Showalter said regarding Yamamoto's demotion. The 25-year-old should begin the year at Triple-A Syracuse and could see action in the majors later this summer if injuries force the Mets to dip into their rotation depth.
