43 Adam Warren RP

Manager Joe Girardi stated that Warren will get more chances in the seventh inning after removing Tyler Clippard from that role, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.

Warren has spent most of the season fighting with Clippard for the seventh-inning spot in front of Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman, but will now officially occupy the majority of those innings following Clippard's removal. Girardi claimed that this wasn't anything "permanent" but with Clippard's struggles and Warren coming back from the DL (shoulder), he has pitched well enough to warrant more time in high-leverage situations. Chad Green will also get some looks as a seventh-inning guy, but expect the bulk of the work to go through Warren.

Warren (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

Warren completed a simulated game Sunday without any hiccups, so he'll be cleared to return to the Yankees bullpen following a three-week absence. The right-hander had primarily been serving as the Yankees' seventh-inning man prior to being sidelined, but with closer Aroldis Chapman now back in the bullpen mix, Warren will move down a rung in the bullpen pecking order behind Chapman, Dellin Betances and Tyler Clippard.

Warren (shoulder) will likely be activated from the disabled list before Tuesday's game against Toronto, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Warren apparently showed enough in his simulated game Sunday to convince the Yankees he can return from his shoulder soreness without going on a rehab assignment. Before the injury, Warren was on fire, as he had gone eight consecutive appearances without allowing an earned run and posted an 8:1 K:BB over that stretch.

Warren (shoulder) will toss a simulated game Sunday and could return to the big-league club next week, YES Network's Meredith Marakovits reports.

Warren will advance to the next step of his recovery following a bullpen session Wednesday. The right-handed reliever could be back as early as Monday if all goes according to plan, but the team may elect to give him a few more days depending on how his shoulder holds up during the simulated game.

Warren (shoulder) was able to throw a 20-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Everything apparently went well for Warren, and he's scheduled to throw another bullpen in the coming days before the Yankees reevaluate him. Barring any setbacks, manager Joe Girardi said Warren could be back with the team for its next homestand, which begins Monday against the Blue Jays.
