Yarbrough and the Rays avoided arbitration Tuesday, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $3.85 million deal, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Yarbrough gets a raise of over $1.5 million despite the fact that he's coming off the worst season of his career. In 155 innings, he struck out a career-low 17.9 percent of opposing batters and generated groundballs at a career-low 35.8 percent clip, leading to a career-high 5.11 ERA.
