Doval has struggled in his second year with the Yankees.
He is currently 3-1 with a 4.67 ERA in 39 games.
It’s worth noting that the Yankees are paying him $6.1 million for the 2026 season.
Before New York, Doval had spent part of five seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
In 2022, he went 6-6 with a 2.53 ERA in 68 games.
The former MLB All-Star also had 39 saves (with a 2.93 ERA) in 2023.
Social Media On Doval’s Struggles
Here’s what people have been saying about Doval:
Chris Kirschner: “Doval has certainly been a disaster, but his defense has not helped him at all this season. He came into today’s game with a -4 team fielding run value, tied for the 17th-worst among all pitchers.”
Jeff Young: “I don’t know how Camilo Doval is doing this year, but judging by Twitter, things could probably be going better.”
Ryan Garcia: “You have to option Camilo Doval. Again I think everyone can see the talent from the radar gun, but I think his body language vs DET and vs MIN yesterday are reflective of where he’s at right now. That guy is lost.”
@YankeeSource: “Wouldn’t be surprised if this is it for Doval. He could be headed to Triple-A after this.”
