Yates returned from the bereavement list Monday, firing a scoreless inning with a walk and two strikeouts in a 6-2 win over Arizona.
Yates wasn't afforded a save opportunity after his offense plated a pair in the eighth inning, but he performed well nonetheless. The 31-year-old will resume his role as the Friars' top closing option after posting a 2.05 ERA and 5.2 K/BB ratio over 52.2 innings.
