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 will take a mediocre 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over four starts (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.

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.

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: Looks great again Tuesday
Rotowire
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: Allows four runs in loss
Rotowire
Warren (0-3) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.
Warren yielded four runs in the third inning, including a three-run home run to Brendan Donovan. The rookie generated just five whiffs on 76 pitches and has now surrendered four earned runs or more in four of his five starts with the Yankees. He owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 21.2 major-league innings and will likely cede his spot in the rotation upon the return of Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat).

Yankees' Will Warren: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Warren will start Saturday's game against the Rockies at Yankee Stadium, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Warren was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday to take Luis Gil's (back) spot on the active roster, and he'll now slot into Gil's spot in the rotation this weekend. In three big-league starts this season, Warren has an 8.59 ERA with a 17:5 K:BB, though those numbers are skewed heavily by an eight-run start against the Angels on Aug. 7.

Yankees' Will Warren: Sent back to minors

The Yankees optioned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Warren turned in a solid spot start in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox, taking a no-decision while allowing two runs over five frames. He'll rejoin the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rotation and would likely be the first hurler called upon when/if the Yankees need another starter.

Yankees' Will Warren: Does fine in spot start
Rotowire
Warren allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Wednesday.
Warren exited with the Yankees down 2-1, but they rallied for nine runs between the seventh and eighth innings. This was the best of Warren's three appearances in the majors this season. He's allowed 14 runs over 14.2 innings while posting a 17:5 K:BB. The 25-year-old is expected to be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the near future since this was likely just a spot start to build in some rest for the Yankees' other starters.

Yankees' Will Warren: Promotion coming Wednesday
Rotowire
Warren will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Although Warren was lit up for eight earned runs in just 4.1 innings during his second MLB start against the Angels last Wednesday before being returned to Triple-A, the Yankees will turn to him again to get them through the series finale. In addition to his poor big-league performance, the 25-year-old righty owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 innings in Triple-A. He will have the benefit of facing the worst offense in the majors, but he is still not a recommended streaming option. The Yankees are likely to send Warren back to Triple-A following Wednesday's contest.

Yankees' Will Warren: Returned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees returned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Angels.
Making his second MLB start in the second game of the twin bill, Warren struggled mightily, allowing eight earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out six batters in 4.1 innings en route to taking a loss. He'll now head back to Triple-A, where he has also languished to the tune of a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 95.2 frames.

Yankees' Will Warren: Officially promoted
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Angels.
Warren will work as the Yankees' 27th man Wednesday, and he'll most likely be sent back to Triple-A after making his start in the nightcap. The 25-year-old righty surrendered four earned runs in 5.1 innings during his only other start in the majors this season, and he owns a 6.11 ERA across 20 starts in the minors.

Yankees' Will Warren: Demoted after MLB debut
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Warren was called up from Triple-A to make his MLB debut Tuesday versus the Phillies while filling in for Gerrit Cole, who is expected to miss just one start while dealing with general fatigue. The young right-hander worked 5.1 innings in his start, giving up four earned runs on four hits and two walks while fanning six hitters in a no-decision in the Yankees' 7-6 win in 12 innings. The 25-year-old had turned in a 6.11 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 20 starts in the minors prior to receiving a promotion.

Yankees' Will Warren: Goes 5.1 innings in debut
Rotowire
Warren did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Phillies, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Warren pitched better than his final line would indicate. He got off to a rough start in his major-league debut, allowing a run in the first inning before surrendering a three-run homer to Austin Hays in the second -- however, the 25-year-old right-hander would hold the Phillies scoreless over his final 3.1 frames while striking out the side against the heart of Philadelphia's order in the fifth. Warren figures to head back to Triple-A with Gerrit Cole (general fatigue) expected to return this weekend, though he should be on the short list of potential call-ups should the Yankees need pitching reinforcements down the stretch.

Yankees' Will Warren: Drawing spot start Tuesday
Rotowire
The Yankees will call up Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Gerrit Cole was slated to start Tuesday's game but was scratched due to general body fatigue. Warren will take Cole's place and make his MLB debut. Though Warren owns a 6.11 ERA across 20 Triple-A starts, he's allowed more than three runs just twice in his last 10 appearances. The right-hander has struck out 115 batters in 95.2 innings.

Yankees' Will Warren: Could get a shot in rotation
Rotowire
Warren is a candidate to step into a starting role to open the season if Gerrit Cole (elbow) needs to miss time, Max Goodman of NJ Advance Media reports.
Warren allowed one run in three innings in a Grapefruit League game against the Orioles on Monday, and he's posted a 3.52 ERA over 7.2 frames overall this spring. The right-hander has struck out eight over that span but has also allowed nine hits and three walks. Still, the overall impression he has made has been positive, and the Yankees will likely be looking to fill a rotation spot (at least in the short term) with Cole having recently gotten an MRI and now set for additional testing on his pitching elbow. While Warren will likely be under consideration for a starting role if Cole does indeed need to miss time, he wouldn't be the lone candidate, with fellow youngster Clayton Beeter -- who has also had a strong spring and who, unlike Warren, is already on the 40-man roster -- probably representing his stiffest competition, with Luis Gil also in the mix.

Yankees' Will Warren: Closing strong at Triple-A
Rotowire
Warren struck out a season-high 10 batters over five scoreless innings Sunday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Warren has one of the better sliders at Triple-A and a pair of low-to-mid 90s fastballs, with him throwing his sinker more often while getting more whiffs off the four-seamer. That sinker/slider combo has helped him generate groundballs at a 51.8 percent clip at Triple-A. Warren has come on strong, logging a 2.13 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 57 strikeouts in 50.2 innings over his last nine starts. He could join the big-league rotation sometime next year.
