Yankees' Will Warren has hit a nice stride in recent starts.

Overview

  • Will Warren delivered a standout performance on May 20, striking out 10 batters and allowing no runs over 5 2/3 innings in the Yankees’ 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers.
  • The Yankees’ rotation has transformed from a league-worst 5.40 ERA in early April to an impressive 2.89 ERA since April 14, despite early-season injuries to key starters.
  • Veteran pitchers Max Fried and Carlos Rodón have anchored the Yankees’ resurgence, with Fried leading MLB starters with a 1.29 ERA and Rodón excelling in strikeout rates.
  • Aaron Judge hit his 16th home run of the season, and Ben Rice added a solo shot, providing critical offensive support in the series-opening win.
  • Warren credits his recent success to refining his gameplans with coaches and teammates, gaining confidence in his pitches, and learning from the Yankees’ veteran presence.
