Ynoa will begin the season at High-A Florida, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
Earlier reports had him optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett after the first couple of weeks of spring training, but considering Ynoa made only six starts at High-A last year, that would have been an extremely aggressive assignment. The 20-year-old was acquired from the Twins in 2017 and posted an intriguing 100:42 K:BB in 91.2 innings for Low-A Rome prior to last year's promotion to Florida.
