Newsbreakers
August 12, 2009
Tyler Yates, who recently underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery, has been trasferred to the 60-day disabled list.
Our View:
Obviously, this was just a procedural move as their was a zero percent chance he would pitch again this season. Don't expect to hear his name until next year's All-Star break at the very, very earliest.
July 15, 2009
Tyler Yates has undergone Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of 2009, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
Yates hadn't pitched since May 15, and has a 7.50 ERA in 12 innings this season. He will likely miss a good chunk of 2010, too, and shouldn't be owned in any format now.
June 11, 2009
The Tribune-Review reports that Tyler Yates has returned to Pittsburgh to have further tests on his sore elbow. He suffered the setback on Tuesday calling the elbow "super sore."
Our View:
Yates was hoping to return this month, but there is no longer a timetable set for his return. It sounds as if there's a chance he might be headed for surgery.
June 9, 2009
Tyler Yates has suffered a setback in his rehab from right elbow inflammation as he eneded his simulated game early today due to discomfort, according to MLBblogs.com.
Our View:
He has been on the DL since May 17, and now looks to be headed for more tests. Dr. James Andrews in Alabama recently told Yates he does not have any structural damage in his elbow, and only has a sore ligament.
June 9, 2009
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pirates' reliever Tyler Yates is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Tuesday at Turner Field in Atlanta. "If that goes well," manager John Russell said, "we'll look to get him out on rehab."
Our View:
Yates has been out since May 16 with the inflammation in his elbow, and it looks like he will be on the shelf for a few more weeks. He should not be considered in any fantasy format unless he shows he can be a consistent arm out of the bullpen for the Pirates. Even then, he warrants very little consideration as a middle reliever.
June 1, 2009
Tyler Yates is expected to miss 2-3 more weeks while recovering from a sore right elbow, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
The 31-year-old reliever held a 7.50 ERA over 12 innings prior to landing on the DL, and is only worth waiting for in the deepest of fantasy leagues that use middle men.
May 27, 2009
Tyler Yates is not expected to be ready to come off the DL when first eligible on Sunday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Our View:
His tests came back fine, but is slowly recovering from right shoulder inflammation. When ready to return, Yates will only hold fantasy value in deeper leagues that use middle relievers.
May 25, 2009
Tyler Yates, who is recovering from right elbow inflammation, threw from 90 feet in his second throwing session, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He threw from 60 feet in his previous session, and will try to throw from 120 feet next.
Our View:
He is progressing, but Pirates' GM Neal Huntington noted that Yates may not return when eligible to come off the DL Sunday. When healthy, Yates only holds value in deeper NL-only leagues that feature middle men.
May 23, 2009
Tyler Yates, who is recovering from right elbow inflammation, had a light throwing session Friday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:
His elbow held up as well as expected. Yates could return to the Pirates' pen by the start of June, but is not worth waiting for in fantasy leagues as he holds a poor 7.50 ERA over 12 innings of work.
May 17, 2009
Tyler Yates has been placed on the 15-day DL due to right elbow inflammation, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Tom Gorzelanny has been recalled from Triple-A as the corresponding move.
Our View:
Yates has not been helping the Pirates, or fantasy owners, as he holds a 7.50 ERA over 12 innings of relief.
January 20, 2009
Tyler Yates has signed a one-year deal with the Pirates worth $1.3 million to avoid salary arbitration, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He can rake in an additional $25,000 in performance incentives.
Our View:
Yates nailed down one save and six wins over 73.1 innings of relief last season, but held a poor 1.54 WHIP and 4.66 ERA and does not look to hold much fantasy value for 2009.
