Yoho

Yoho heads back to the minors to free up a roster spot for newly acquired reliever Joel Kuhnel. The 26-year-old has allowed one run over three innings of work for the Brewers this season. He continues to post excellent numbers on the doorstep of the majors, but he’s struggled to gain any traction at the highest level with a bloated 6.17 ERA across 11 2/3 innings in the big leagues over the last two years.

He’ll replace Jake Woodford in the team’s bullpen. Yoho, 26, has been outstanding in 16 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, posting a minuscule 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and a 24/5 K/BB ratio over 18 innings. He’ll give manager Pat Murphy another weapon to deploy from the right side in late game situations.

Yoho had already been stationed at Triple-A Nashville on his minor league rehab assignment, so he’ll stay there a bit longer as he continues to round back into form. Expect to see him in Milwaukee at some point this season.

Yoho has put up otherworldly numbers in the minor leagues throughout his career, but wound up getting hit really hard in his first taste of the majors last year. The 26-year-old will be an option for Milwaukee in middle relief situations at some point in a few weeks, if not sooner.

A right soleus strain is a strain of the calf, so you learn something new every day. Yoho should return to the mound in April, and then he will need to fight his way back into the Milwaukee bullpen.

Yoho spent a week in the Brewers pen, but he pitched just once, turning in a perfect ninth with the team down 10-2 on Sunday. It doesn’t seem like he’s going to have much of a chance of working his way into the postseason bullpen mix.

The 25-year-old hurler has struggled with his command during his brief time with the Brewers this season, posting an 8.22 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and a 5/9 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings. He has terrific raw stuff, but he’s not going to help out in the Brewers’ bullpen if he can’t consistently throw strikes.

Brought in to finish off a four-run lead last night, Yoho, who just called up before the game, walked two of the four batters he faced and was pulled in favor of Trevor Megill, who finished the job for a save. He’ll head back to Triple-A having walked nine in 7 2/3 innings in the majors this season.

He takes the spot of Tobias Myers, who was sent down after Sunday’s game. Yoho, one of the game’s top relief prospects, debuted for the Brewers in April and has given up seven runs and walked seven in seven major league innings this season. He had a 0.84 ERA in 32 innings in Triple-A.

Yoho is one of the more intriguing relief prospects in the fantasy landscape, but he got absolutely lit up earlier this season in a handful of appearances for Milwaukee. The 25-year-old will likely head back to Triple-A Nashville at the conclusion of Wednesday’s twin bill.
