Yankees' Will Warren: Ambushed in first inning
Rotowire
Warren (8-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Red Sox.

The right-hander was able to grind out four more frames, but the Yankees' comeback effort fell short. Warren has struggled against the Yankees' archrivals this year, allowing a total of 15 runs over 14.1 innings in three starts against the Red Sox. Overall, he has a 4.44 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 160:62 K:BB through 152 innings over 31 starts. Warren will look to right the ship in his next start, which is tentatively projected to be at Baltimore.

Rotowire
Warren came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Tigers, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander made only one real mistake over 91 pitches (59 strikes), which resulted in a two-run homer by Parker Meadows in the fifth inning, and Warren left the mound with the score tied 2-2 before the Yankees' bullpen melted down in the seventh. It was his first quality start since Aug. 11 and his sixth of the season, and Warren continues to supply New York with reliable outings, posting a 2.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB over 36.1 innings since the beginning of August. He lines up to make his next start in a crucial AL East road matchup this weekend against the Red Sox.

Yankees' Will Warren: Logs no-decision Wednesday
Rotowire
Warren allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five-plus innings in a no-decision against Houston on Wednesday.
Warren had a 4-1 lead heading into the sixth, but he was pulled after giving up a leadoff homer to Jeremy Pena in that frame. New York's bullpen went on to allow the Astros to eventually take the lead, preventing Warren from earning his second straight win. Still, this was a promising result for the right-hander, who has given up two or fewer runs in seven of his past eight starts. He has a 2.79 ERA during that span, lowering his overall mark to 4.28 on the season.

Yankees' Will Warren: Overcomes defensive miscue
Rotowire
Warren (8-6) allowed four unearned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Thursday.
An Anthony Volpe error in the second inning ultimately led to a Miguel Vargas grand slam. Those were all the runs on Warren's line, and they were all unearned, leading to no damage on his ERA, though he was limited to five innings and 93 pitches (51 strikes). It's an improvement on Warren's last two starts, when he failed to reach the five-inning mark altogether. He's allowed 12 runs (six earned) across 13.2 innings over his last three outings. On the season, he has a 4.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 149:60 K:BB through 136 innings over 28 starts. The right-hander is projected for a road start versus Houston next week.

Rotowire
Warren (7-6) took the loss in Saturday's 12-1 rout at the hands of the Red Sox, coughing up five runs on seven hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.
The 26-year-old right-hander may be wearing down as he approaches the final month of his first full big-league campaign. Warren has failed to last five innings in back-to-back starts, but over seven outings since the All-Star break he's still managed to post a respectable 4.04 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB in 35.2 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road next week against the White Sox.

Warren managed to secure his fifth quality start of the season, as he's notched two in his last four appearances. Across 122.1 total innings, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.34 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 140:54 K:BB while conceding 14 long balls. Warren currently lines up to make his next start at St. Louis this weekend.

Rotowire

Tuesday marked the fifth scoreless start of the year for Warren, though he did walk a trio of batters for the fourth time in his last five outings. The 26-year-old right-hander worked around three doubles allowed, and he also threw just 52 of his 98 pitches for strikes en route to an impressive performance. Warren has a 4.44 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 133:54 K:BB over 115.2 innings, and he'll try to build on Tuesday's showing next week at home versus the Twins.

Yankees' Will Warren: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Warren didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
The right-hander fired 57 of 89 pitches for strikes as he fell one out short of his fourth quality start of the season, and Warren really made just one mistake, which Kyle Schwarber ripped over the right-center field fence for a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Warren has walked multiple batters in seven straight outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 4.79 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB over 35.2 innings. He'll be a volatile fantasy option in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

The right-hander didn't make it out of the fourth inning Saturday, giving up home runs to Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies in the process. Warren came into the outing with solid underlying metrics (3.40 FIP) despite a 4.63 ERA, but this performance didn't offer signs of positive regression.

Warren took a no-decision after working 5.2 innings, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out four during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Royals.
After allowing 13 runs over his last three starts, Warren worked his second shutout start of the season Thursday.

Yankees' Will Warren: Weather delay cuts start short
Rotowire
Warren didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.
Warren punched out seven batters for a fifth straight start despite throwing just 57 pitches before a rain delay halted the game in the top of the fifth frame. The 26-year-old settled in after a shaky first inning when he loaded the bases with no outs. Colorado scored a pair of runs in the frame, but he avoided further damage by retiring three straight batters to end the inning. In his last five appearances, Warren has a 2.70 ERA and a 41:8 K:BB across 26.2 innings. He's scheduled to face the Dodgers in Los Angeles next weekend.

Yankees' Will Warren: Collects first career MLB win
Rotowire
Warren (1-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings in an 8-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out six.
The right-hander was handed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning but promptly gave it back in the top of the second, before settling in and letting the Yankees' offense carry him to his first career win in the majors. Warren tossed 54 of 91 pitches for strikes and racked up a dominant 35 called or swinging strikes in his best performance yet this season. While Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) is poised to come off the IL next week, a knee injury to Marcus Stroman and the struggles of Carlos Carrasco have given Warren some extra job security in the Yankees' rotation. He's scheduled to make his next trip to the mound on the road next week against the Rays.

Yankees' Will Warren: Could start season in rotation
Rotowire
Warren may begin the regular season as the Yankees' fifth starter due to injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat), Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Gil has already been ruled out for multiple months, and Cole -- who is awaiting the results of tests on his right elbow -- may be sidelined for an extended period as well. If the latter scenario takes place, Warren is likely to be needed as a starter from the get-go, joining Marcus Stroman as replacements in the rotation before the arrival of Opening Day. Warren struggled in his first taste of the big leagues last year, posting a 10.32 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 22.2 regular-season innings. However, he's pitched very well this spring, giving up just one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 11 over eight frames.

Yankees' Will Warren: Ascending this spring
Rotowire
Warren struck out four in three perfect innings Wednesday against the Cardinals.
Warren threw 13 sweepers, 12 sinkers, seven four-seamers and three changeups, with his sweeper doing the heavy lifting on a dominant second start of the spring. With Clarke Schmidt (back) expected to progress to live batting practice this weekend, it's too soon to say if the Yankees will have to dip into their starting pitching depth right away this season. However, Warren has clearly established himself as a high-upside, ascending pitcher early this spring, and he's at worst seventh on the Yankees' starting pitching depth chart.
