Giants Outright Miguel Yajure

By Steve Adams | December 13, 2022 at 1:21pm CDT

The Giants passed right-hander Miguel Yajure through outright waivers unclaimed and have assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento, tweets Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. That removes him from the 40-man roster and opens a spot for right-hander Ross Stripling, whose two-year deal has been officially announced by the Giants.

San Francisco claimed Yajure off waivers from the Pirates just 11 days ago, and they’ll now be able to stash the 6’1″, 215-pound righty in the upper minors as a depth piece for either the rotation or the bullpen. The 24-year-old righty, originally signed as an amateur by the Yankees, went to Pittsburgh alongside Roansy Contreras as part of the package that sent Jameson Taillon from the Pirates to the Yankees.

Yajure has spent time in the Majors in each of the past three seasons but has yet to find much success, logging a 7.58 ERA in 46 1/3 MLB frames to date. Command has been a considerable obstacle, as he’s walked 13% of his opponents and been tagged for an average of 1.94 home runs per nine innings pitched. That said, Yajure isn’t all that far removed from ranking as one of the better pitching prospects in both the Yankees’ and Pirates’ systems, and he enjoyed a strong Triple-A showing with Pittsburgh in 2021 when he logged 43 2/3 innings of 3.09 ERA ball with a 23% strikeout rate and 7.5% walk rate.

Elbow and forearm injuries limited Yajure to just nine starts during that otherwise solid 2021 showing in Triple-A, however, and he returned with struggles not only in the big leagues but in Triple-A this past season as well (6.09 ERA in 54 2/3 innings). Now that he’s successfully been passed through waivers, Yajure can focus on getting healthy and rounding back into form with an organization that has developed a knack for maximizing output from its pitchers. The Giants are exceptionally deep in rotation options, with Logan Webb, Alex Wood, Alex Cobb, Anthony DeSclafani, Jakob Junis and newcomers Stripling and Sean Manaea, so at this point, Yajure is likelier to be viewed as bullpen depth than starting depth.

    Ross is a decent gamble Guasman helped him with his change up and he pitched quite well this year. Maybe if anything he can be a trade piece at AS break if out of contention Wich probably will be the case and Harrison can come take his spot.

    Yajure has shown some promise but I think he got rushed by the Pirates (shocker). Always gets hurt the moment he seemingly hits a stride as well. He’s worth a flier on most teams IMO.

    You can not “stash” anyone with a ” 7″ ” plus ERA.

    Yajure does throw 6 pitches. In my opinion, out of any of the AAAA, up and down, 6th starter type pitchers the Pirates have/had, Yajure, has the best chances of being fixed or finding success. Just because the amount of and how good the secondaries are. And he’s shown good control before.

    He probably ends up carving out a role in the majors as a multi inning RP. Right now, he’s just another AAAA, up and down pitcher though. Who gets lit up in the majors.
