Yankees' Will Warren: Undone by defense in no-decision
Rotowire
Warren did not factor into the decision Monday against the Angels, allowing four unearned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out six over 3.2 innings
Warren was sharp through the first three innings, holding Los Angeles hitless, but they made him work for it by staying patient and forced him to throw 52 pitches in those frames. Trouble arose in the fourth after a fielding error allowed Mike Trout to reach, and the Angels capitalized by scoring four unearned runs -- three with two outs -- before Warren was lifted. Despite the hiccup, the right-hander continues to impress early this season, now sporting a 2.45 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 20:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings.

Yankees' Will Warren: Takes no-decision Wednesday
Rotowire
Warren allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take a no-decision Wednesday versus the Athletics.
Warren threw 48 of 85 pitches for strikes. He was rolling until the fourth inning, when the Athletics were able to pick up both of their runs against him, including the tying run coming across on a wild pitch. Warren has limited damage fairly well through three starts, maintaining a 3.07 ERA despite a 1.30 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 14.2 innings. However, his pitching hasn't led to longer starts with just one outing of at least five frames, and he'll need to work on his efficiency to get more sustained success. He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Angels early next week.

Yankees' Will Warren: Fans six en route to first win
Rotowire
Warren (1-0) allowed two runs on four hits over 5.2 innings Friday to collect the win in the Yankees' 8-2 victory over the Marlins. He struck out six without walking a batter.
The right-hander was lifted one out short of a quality start after giving up a pair of singles in the sixth with the Yankees ahead 4-2. Warren fired 47 of 77 pitches for strikes, and the two runs he did give up came on solo shots by Xavier Edwards in the first inning and Owen Caissie in the fifth. Warren will take a 2.70 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB through 10 innings into his next start, which is set to come at home next week against the A's.

Yankees' Will Warren: Keeps Giants in check
Rotowire
Warren took a no-decision Saturday against the Giants, allowing one run on five hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
The right-hander labored a bit in his first appearance of the season, as he was unable to complete five frames despite firing 83 pitches. It was still a fine showing overall for Warren, who topped out at 97 mph on his fastball and generated 10 whiffs Saturday. The right-hander should be locked into a rotation spot for at least the first month of the campaign, as Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) are sidelined, and Warren is lined up for a favorable home matchup next week versus the Marlins.
Warren completed four-plus innings in a Grapefruit League game against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four batters.
Warren retired 12 of the first 14 batters he faced and shut out the Rays through four frames. He returned for the fifth and gave up back-to-back singles before being pulled, and one of those baserunners scored following the right-hander's departure. Warren has looked great this spring, posting a 1.77 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB over 20.1 innings spanning five starts. He's locked into the Yankees' rotation to begin the campaign, and if he continues pitching well into the regular season, he could stick as part of the starting staff even after Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Carlos Rodon (elbow) return to action.
Warren tossed 2.2 innings in a Grapefruit League game against Toronto on Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four batters.
Warren pounded the zone during his outing, throwing 36 of 49 pitches for strikes. He gave up a run in the first inning but ended the start by retiring the final five batters he faced. Warren averaged 93.1 mph on his fastball, which is right in line with the 93.3 mph he averaged on the offering last season. He seems to be a lock for a spot at the back of New York's rotation in the early going with Gerrit Cole (elbow), Carlos Rodon (elbow) and Clarke Schmidt (elbow) all slated to open the campaign on the injured list, but Warren will likely need to pitch well to maintain a starting role when those hurlers return to action.
Warren (9-8) collected the win in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles, yielding four runs on six hits and one walk over five frames. He struck out seven.
The rookie allowed multiple homers for only the fourth time this season out of 33 starts. Warren conceded a three-run long ball to Jordan Westburg in the third before being chased from the game in the sixth by a Tyler O'Neill solo shot. The 26-year-old wraps his regular season with a 4.44 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 171:65 K:BB across 162.1 total innings.

Yankees' Will Warren: Suffers tough-luck loss
Rotowire
Warren (8-8) took the loss against the Orioles on Friday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Warren gave up a solo shot in the second inning but was otherwise steady, with two unearned runs in the sixth stemming from a pair of Orioles errors. Despite getting tagged for six runs last Sunday, the 26-year-old has now held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in four of his past five starts while working at least five frames each time. He'll take a 4.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 164:64 K:BB across 157.1 innings into a projected home matchup with the White Sox next week.

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.
Warren was tagged for six of the 10 hits during the first inning, when he gave up all six runs as the Red Sox sent their entire lineup to the plate. 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.
Yankees' Will Warren: Quality start wasted Tuesday
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.
