Yamamoto allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings against the Marlins on Saturday.
Yamamoto made his first start since Aug. 24. Though he allowed nine baserunners, he only gave up two extra-base hits, both of which were doubles. That's notable progress for Yamamoto, as he had allowed a home run in seven consecutive starts prior to hitting the injured list. It's unclear how the Marlins plan to deploy him to close the season, though he's currently projected to start Thursday against the Mets.
