Yonny Chirinos DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Miami Marlins designated right-hander Yonny Chirinos for assignment on Tuesday and recalled right-hander Kyle Tyler from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Tyler made the start for the Fish on Tuesday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Chirinos gets the boot off the Marlins' 40-man roster a day after surrendering five runs on nine hits while walking four in five innings in a loss to the division-rival New York Mets. The 30-year-old veteran predictably has not been very good in his six starts (30 innings pitched) for Miami in 2024, going 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA (6.11 FIP) and 1.87 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and 13 walks. The veteran Venezuelan could latch on with another organization to close out the 2024 season but he won't be much more than an innings-eater if he finds his way back to the big leagues.

The Miami Marlins signed free-agent right-hander Yonny Chirinos to a minor-league deal on Tuesday with an invitation to big-league spring training. Chirinos spent 2018-23 with the Tampa Bay Rays, so new general manager Peter Bendix is familiar with Chirinos already. The 30-year-old veteran has appeared in 69 games (38 starts) at the major-league level and has produced a 106 ERA+ and 1.20 WHIP. In 20 appearances (nine starts) for the Rays and Atlanta Braves in 2023, he had an offspeed run value in the 87th percentile, a ground-ball percentage in the 71st percentile and a walk percentage in the 65th percentile while posting a career-worst 5.40 ERA (5.43 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP while walking 27 and striking out 53 in 85 total innings. Chirinos hasn't really been effective since 2019 and will be battling for a roster spot in Miami in 2024.
