Rotowire
Warren (3-2) earned the win against the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out 10 across 5.2 scoreless innings.

Rotowire
Warren allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Wednesday.
Warren's nine strikeouts were a season high, and he's now fanned 24 batters over his last 17 innings. The right-hander limited the damage to a two-run double by Julio Rodriguez in the third inning. Warren wasn't all that efficient Wednesday, throwing just 53 of 92 pitches for strikes, but he kept things from getting too lopsided, and the Yankees responded with late offense to keep him out of the loss column. He's now at a 4.61 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 50:17 K:BB over 41 innings through nine starts this season. Warren's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.
Warren (2-2) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over 7.1 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday.
This was the best outing of Warren's young career, as he kept the Athletics at bay throughout. He threw 59 of 87 pitches for strikes and racked up 13 whiffs. The 25-year-old's strong outing lowered his ERA to 4.75 with a 1.36 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 36 innings over eight starts. He'll need to string together a few strong performances to earn more widespread fantasy interest, but this could be the beginning of him putting everything together. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at Seattle.

Yankees' Will Warren: Strikes out five in no-decision
Rotowire
Warren did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to the Guardians. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over five-plus innings while striking out five.
Warren cruised through five shutout frames with little threat from Cleveland's lineup. He allowed two singles to begin the sixth inning and was charged with both runs after leaving the contest. Warren has completed five innings in three of his five starts this season but has yet to go deep enough to produce a quality start. He dropped his ERA to 4.79 with a 21:10 K:BB through 20.2 innings. Warren is currently expected to start in Baltimore next week.
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.
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.
