Yang

Yang returns to the Tigers, where he pitched from 2007 until 2020, after struggling mightily in his brief major-league debut with the Rangers last season. The 33-year-old lefty elected free agency earlier this offseason after posting a disastrous 5.60 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 25/16 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings (12 appearances, four starts) at the major-league level.

The Tigers have reportedly expressed an interest in a reunion with Yang, who elected to become a free agent earlier this month. The 33-year-old left-hander spent just one season with the Rangers, recording a lackluster 5.60 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 25/16 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings (12 appearances, four starts).

Yang compiled a lackluster 5.60 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 25/16 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings (12 appearances, four starts) at the major-league level. It’s unclear whether the 33-year-old lefty will look for a new opportunity or elect to return to Korea this offseason.

Yang cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization.

Texas activated Willie Calhoun from the injured list on Wednesday and needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. Yang posted a 5.60 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 35 1/3 innings and is likely to clear waivers.

Yang, 33, has posted a rough 5.60 ERA across his first 35 1/3 major league innings this season.

Yang was just sent back to the minors on Tuesday, but he’ll now officially return to the Texas bullpen following the expansion of MLB rosters on Wednesday. The 33-year-old has posted a career 5.23 ERA through his first 31 major league innings.

Yang was brought up as a replacement player last week as the Rangers sorted through a COVID-19 outbreak. The 33-year-old right-hander holds a 5.23 ERA in 31 career innings at the MLB level.

Yang was pushed off the 40-man roster back in mid-June, but he’s needed now with the Rangers facing some COVID-19 concerns on their major league roster. The 33-year-old left-hander could even draw an emergency start or two.

Yang cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 33-year-old southpaw compiled a bloated 5.59 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 19/15 K/BB ratio across 29 innings (eight appearances, four starts) at the major-league level this season.
