The four-time Rawlings Gold Glover has been in the Major Leagues parts of 12 seasons with Tampa Bay (2013-22) and Toronto (2023-24), hitting .246 with 94 homers and 370 RBI in 1,124 games. He was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 31st round of the 2010 First Year Player Draft out of Parkland College.
Yarbrough, 32, was designated for assignment yesterday by the Dodgers after they acquired infielder/outfielder Amed Rosario. He was 4-2 with a 3.74 ERA in 32 games for the Dodgers. In seven Major League seasons with Tampa Bay (2018-22), Kansas City (2023) and Los Angeles (2023-24) he was 52-40 with a 4.30 ERA in 184 games (68 starts). He was acquired by the Dodgers last season on August 1 from Kansas City in exchange for minor leaguers Devin Mann and Derlin Figueroa.
