Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Rejoins big club as reliever
The New York Yankees activated Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday.Yarbrough had been on the shelf since June 22 due to a strained right oblique, but he's been cleared to rejoin the Yankees after delivering a 4.09 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB in 11 innings over three rehab appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The southpaw had been working out of the rotation prior to being shelved, but with rookie Cam Schlittler excelling of late as the Yankees' fifth starter, manager Aaron Boone confirmed last week that Yarbrough will work out of the bullpen upon his return.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Will return as reliever
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) will be used out of the bullpen once he's activated from the 15-day injured list, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.Before landing on the injured list June 22 due to a right oblique strain, Yarbrough had started in eight of his 16 appearances for the Yankees and delivered a 3.90 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB in 55.1 innings, but he'll lose his spot in the rotation with New York having gotten strong results from No. 5 starter Cam Schlittler in recent weeks. Yarbrough has pitched well in his own right through three rehab starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with whom he most recently pitched Tuesday and struck out six while allowing two earned runs over 4.2 innings. The lefty will likely be deployed as a long reliever and should be the top choice to enter the rotation if the Yankees lose a starter to an injury at any point in September.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Staying on rehab assignment
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) will make at least one more rehab start, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.He's made two rehab starts thus far, with the last one coming with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, when he allowed two runs while striking out three over 3.1 innings. Yarbrough got his pitch count up to 50 in that outing and will continue to build up his stamina in case he's needed in the Yankees' rotation. As things stand right now, however, he might be destined for long relief once he rejoins the big club.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Ready to kick off rehab assignment
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, the Yankees signed off on Yarbrough beginning a rehab assignment after he threw two simulated innings of live batting practice Monday without issue. Yarbrough has been sidelined since late June with a right oblique strain, and he'll likely be in line for a longer buildup as he aims to regain stamina following his extended absence. The Yankees are likely to have Yarbrough get stretched out for a starting role during his rehab program, though it's unclear if the southpaw will have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated from the 15-day injured list.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Could begin rehab stint Sunday
Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) will face hitters either in a live bullpen session or in a minor-league rehab game Sunday, Peter Sblendorio of the New York Daily News reports.Yarbrough landed on the injured list June 22 due to a right oblique strain. He was shut down from throwing until mid-July and has since been working his way back, advancing to bullpen sessions in late July and tossing his first live session this past Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Saturday that Yarbrough could throw in a minor-league game with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, but that it's more likely the lefty hurler will toss another live bullpen. In either case, Yarbrough is on track to be ready for activation in late August or early September.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Resumes throwing
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) resumed a throwing program Wednesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.It's a good step for the lefty, but Yarbrough hasn't pitched in more than three weeks, so it's going to take some time for him to be built back up. He will likely require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Yankees' active roster, and by that time it's uncertain whether he will still have a rotation spot waiting for him.
