Ryan Yarbrough finished the first half of his rookie season with a record of 8-4. He has not technically been used much as a starting pitcher because the Rays' manager inverted the process of using starting and relief pitchers. Recently Yarbrough has been used as more of a true relief pitcher, pitching only a couple innings per game rather than extended innings.

Regardless of whether he's a true starter or not, an 8-4 record with an ERA of 3.61 halfway his rookie season is an accomplishment.
