Ynoa recorded an uninspiring 10.13 ERA with a 15/10 K/BB ratio across 24 innings (10 appearances) with the Yakult Swallows of the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization last year. The 27-year-old righty owns a 5.39 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 110/41 K/BB ratio over 163 2/3 innings across 55 appearances (20 starts) at the major-league level in his career. He last appeared in the big leagues with the Orioles in 2019.

Ynoa struggled to a 5.61 ERA with a 67:26 K:BB over 110.2 innings a season ago with the Orioles, so he'll aim to resurrect his career in Tokyo. If he manages to perform well, there's certainly the possibility that he could return to Major League Baseball.

Ynoa accrued a 5.61 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 67:26 K:BB over 110.2 innings this season with Baltimore (13 starts). He'll be in search of a new team over the offseason after clearing waivers.

The 26-year-old tossed a quality start, but he still wound up taking his ninth loss of the season with Toronto striking for six runs after he left the contest. He's been pitching better lately, but it hasn't been a fantasy-relevant campaign for Ynoa, who is sporting a 5.65 ERA and 1.37 WHIP and has also yielded 27 homers across 106.2 innings.
