Warren didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rays after allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out one.
After throwing 53 pitches, the right-hander was given a quick hook in the second inning. He limited the damage by getting Taylor Walls to hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the frame, but Warren was pulled after walking Kameron Misner to reload the bases. Warren has a 1-0 record through four starts and is holding right-handed batters to a .154 average, but lefties are hitting .300 against him with a .954 OPS. He will carry a mediocre 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings into his next scheduled start in Cleveland next week.

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: Allows four runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Warren did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Pirates, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.
Warren labored through four innings, tallying 87 total pitches and yielding four runs over his final two frames. Through two starts, the 25-year-old owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across nine innings. He's slated for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Yankees' Will Warren: Tosses five frames
Rotowire
Warren yielded two runs on a hit and four walks over five innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Tuesday. He struck out four during the loss.
The lone hit against Warren was a two-run shot by Corbin Carroll in the third inning. Warren struggled with his command and threw just 46 of 85 pitches for strikes in his 2025 debut. The 25-year-old righty produced a 10.32 ERA over 22.2 innings as a rookie last year and turned in a 5.09 spring ERA. Warren is currently in line to start in Pittsburgh this weekend.
Manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Warren made the season-opening rotation and will make his first start April 1 versus Arizona, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The right-hander entered camp with an outside shot to earn a place in the Opening Day rotation, but long-term injuries to Luis Gil (lat) and Gerrit Cole (elbow) blew that door wide open. Warren had a good showing during spring training with a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings, though he did serve up three homers. Clarke Schmidt will begin the season on the IL due to a shoulder issue but may not be sidelined long, so Warren may need a strong start to the campaign in order to retain his rotation spot.

Yankees' Will Warren: Still in running for rotation spot
Rotowire
Warren will likely open the campaign in the Yankees' rotation if Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) begins the season on the injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Warren has been battling for a rotation spot all spring, as injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat) have depleted New York's starting pitching depth. Carlos Carrasco's impressive spring is likely to earn him a rotation spot, and Marcus Stroman seems to be a lock for a starting role as well, but Warren may still have a place in the rotation if Schmidt -- who has pitched in only one Grapefruit League game but did throw live batting practice Thursday -- isn't ready for his first scheduled start. Warren struggled in his most recent outing Thursday against Baltimore, allowing four runs and serving up two homers in 3.2 innings, but he's been mostly impressive this spring and has good numbers overall, including a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 19.1 frames.
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.
Warren allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four batters over three innings in a Grapefruit League game against Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Warren gave up a solo homer to Max Kepler in the second inning, but that was the only hit that he allowed. The right-hander threw 47 pitches in the outing, 30 of which were strikes, and reached 95.8 mph on his fastball. Warren has been impressive this spring, giving up just one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 11 over eight frames. With Luis Gil (lat) expected to miss extended time at the beginning of the regular season, Warren could find himself in New York's rotation, though Marcus Stroman may be the leading candidate for the team's fifth-starter role given his big-league experience.

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.

Yankees' Will Warren: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Warren owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over 21.2 innings across five big-league starts this season, and it seems likely he'll be available out of the bullpen for New York during the final two games of the regular season. Cody Poteet was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Yankees' Will Warren: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh.
Warren pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's loss, allowing three earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. His poor outing will give him a 10.32 ERA to finish the season through 22.2 innings in the majors.
