Yamamoto announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he has decided to retire from professional baseball.
ANALYSIS
Yamamoto's decision comes just one week after the Dodgers reassigned him to minor-league camp after he was unable to claim a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. The 26-year-old right-hander made 21 appearances (19 starts) in the majors from 2019 through 2021, logging a 6.05 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 96.2 career innings between the Marlins and Mets. Yamamoto struggled mightily in 2022 in stops with three of the Mets' minor-league affiliates, and rather than facing the likelihood of another year on the farm in the Dodgers organization, he's elected to close the door on his playing career.

We're approaching crunch time in fantasy baseball and Jan Levine analyzes the better available players, including a closer who's taken control in Washington.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Yamamoto opened the season at the Marlins' alternate site but was quickly called up after the squad's COVID-19 outbreak. He made three appearances before being mercifully sent back down with a 11.42 ERA and 2.42 WHIP in just 8.2 innings, allowing four homers in that span. Yamamoto was recalled for one more appearance where he took one for the team, allowing 12 earned runs in only 2.2 innings. While the righty isn't as bad as he pitched last season, he has a lot of work to do to ensure a spot on the major-league roster, let alone be fantasy relevant. Most notably, Yamamoto needs to refine his command and control as he isn't going to blow anyone away with a 93-mph fastball. Miami has several up-and-coming arms, so it appears Yamamoto will be out of the mix until he reestablishes himself in the minors.
