Rays Place Yonny Chirinos On 10-Day IL

By Jeff Todd | August 5, 2019 at 3:02pm CDT

The Rays announced today that righty Yonny Chirinos is headed to the 10-day injured list with an inflamed middle finger in his pitching hand (via MLB.com’s Juan Toribio, on Twitter). Fellow right-hander Austin Pruitt is coming up to take the open roster spot.

Details of the injury aren’t fully clear, but it seems the Tampa Bay org is anticipating a reasonably lengthy absence. Chirinos will be shut down for at least two weeks’ time, with skipper Kevin Cash announcing that Chirinos is expected to be sidelined for more than a month, as Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports (Twitter links).

After a strong debut showing in 2018, the 25-year-old Chirinos has thrown 126 2/3 innings of 3.62 ERA ball this year. He’s average 7.8 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9 with a 43.8% groundball rate. Those peripherals don’t exactly leap off the page, and Statcast numbers indicate the results may be on the fortunate side (.286 wOBA-against vs. .318 xwOBA-against). Still, Chirinos has impressed.

Chirinos has been an increasingly important part of a Rays staff that has lost two key starters to injury. There’s still no update on Tyler Glasnow; last we heard, there was increasing concern he might not make it back this year. As for Blake Snell, he told reporters (including Topkin) that his bone-chip removal procedure went well. His precise timeline won’t begin to gain clarity until the inflammation in his elbow subsides.

    Glasnow threw from 60 feet today and felt confident he’ll pitch again this year

    I just traded Glasnow, in my fantasy league(roto), for Aaron Sanchez & Josh Reddick.

    Rays can’t catch a break with their SPs.

    We need SP help ,Why aren’t they bringing up Anthony Banda and Jose Deleon? They must be doing very bad at AAA.

        It’s been over 2 years from their TJ operations. Not one of them is ready yet! we don’t need them next year when we have 7 experienced -successful starters for next year and more coming in the minors! We need them now! Now or never with them!

    Morton, McKay, Yarborough…Beeks, then pray for rain? That might be tough during home games. Seriously though, the bullpen has been so incredibly taxed this year. They are very lucky to have a soft schedule over the next few weeks
