With Warren’s performance easing bullpen strain, the 26-year-old now faces the challenge of refining his secondary pitches to secure a lasting rotation spot.

Overview

  • Warren recorded 6 2/3 innings on 85 pitches with three hits, two solo homers, zero walks and seven strikeouts in the Yankees’ 6–2 win over Minnesota.
  • It marked the first time a Yankees starter reached the seventh inning since July 11, ending a month-long stretch of early hookings.
  • Since the All-Star break, Warren has posted a 3.33 ERA in five outings and holds a 4.34 ERA with 10.30 strikeouts per nine innings through 122.1 frames this season.
  • His four-seam fastball, averaging 93.2 mph, has limited hitters to a .188 average, but his sweeper and changeup remain inconsistent.
  • The outing gave a taxed bullpen a breather and has manager Aaron Boone considering Warren as a reliable middle-rotation option heading into September.
