Will Warren thumped by Red Sox in loss

Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Player Stats

Will Warren allowed seven hits and five runs with three walks and didn’t strike a batter out across 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.

This was a rough day at the park for Warren. The Red Sox jumped on him quickly for four runs over the first three innings and it easily could have been more given the quality of contact they were making. When it was all said and done, Warren allowed 10 hard-hit balls and half of those turned into outs. Also, the Red Sox hit four balls at least 400 feet, but only one was a home run due to Fenway Park’s wonky dimensions. Nevertheless, this was the first time all season where Warren failed to strike a batter out and he rarely even got into two-strike counts as the Red Sox swung early and often. It’s worth noting that he has a 4.44 ERA since the beginning of May after an excellent start to the season. He’s scheduled to face the Tigers at home next time out.

Will Warren was brilliant in Friday’s victory over the Orioles, piling up seven strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings of bulk relief.

Warren allowed just three hits on the night and didn’t walk a batter. He took over for Ryan Yarbrough in a scoreless game in the third inning and kept the Orioles off the board through the sixth. Warren got 13 swings and misses on 54 pitches on the night, registering an elite CSW of 44 percent. He concludes the regular season with an 11-6 record, 3.92 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 158/54 K/BB ratio over 156 innings in his 32 appearances (29 starts).

Will Warren was charged with four runs in 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Warren was lifted with a 4-1 lead, the bases loaded and one out in the fifth, and Brent Headrick went on give up a walk and a grand slam before finishing the inning. That took Warren’s season ERA up to 4.02. He might start again next weekend against the Orioles, or the Yankees could take a look at him as a reliever to help determine whether they want him on the postseason roster.
Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Will Warren allowed two runs (none earned) in 5 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Yankees’ 8-3 victory over the Twins on Monday.

Warren gave up five hits, walked two and struck out six. He’s allowed two earned runs and recorded 21 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings (0.96 ERA) over his last three starts. Warren has a 3.89 ERA this year. He’s lined up to face the Diamondbacks on the road on Sunday.
Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Will Warren fired six strong innings allowing just one run with two walks and eight strikeouts to earn win in a 6-1 victory over the Rockies on Wednesday.

Warren was on point here in his return to the rotation after a brief hiatus as a reliever last weekend. His eight strikeouts were his most in a single start since June 20th and he forced 12 total swings-and-misses with all six of his pitches accounting for at least one. A key development for Warren, his changeup was a weapon against the Rockies left-handed batters. He spiked a few, but commanded most well off the low and outside corner as his key put-away pitch against them. Finding more consistency with that pitch has held him back as a starter, so this is an encouraging development late in the season. He’s scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Twins and Diamondbacks both on the road unless the Yankees alter his role again.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that “Will Warren could piggyback after Max Fried’s next start.”

That will be this weekend in San Diego. Fried threw 63 pitches in his start on Saturday, so he should be built up to at least 70 pitches by the weekend, but he has also battled a bone bruise in his elbow that has come from hyperextension while pitching. The Yankees may want to keep his pitch count in check before the postseason. For his part, Warren was great on Sunday against the Red Sox, but it seems that his reward might be a few innings of bulk relief in his next outing. That makes it tough to trust either pitcher this week.
Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Will Warren earned the win in Sunday’s 16-1 win over the Red Sox, allowing one earned run on six hits over seven innings pitched.

Warren struck out seven and walked one in the 98-pitch outing. He pitched into the eighth but was removed after a couple of Boston hitters reached base. The Yankees took three of four against the Sox this weekend with the win, and they claimed the season series. That affects home field in the Wild Card round if the two rivals finish with identical records. Warren lowered his ERA to 4.23. He was nearly squeezed out of the rotation in recent weeks, and he still figures to pitch out of the bullpen come October. But he certainly showed his value as a starter. He’ll visit the Padres at Petco Park in his next scheduled appearance.

Will Warren allows three runs (two earned) in five innings and got a no-decision against the Astros on Tuesday.

Warren gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out four. He now has a 5.97 ERA in four starts in August. Warren has a 4.39 ERA on the year. He’s lined up to face the Red Sox at home on Sunday.

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Will Warren received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Orioles, allowing two earned runs on three hits over four innings pitched.

Warren struck out five and walked two while needing 90 pitches to record 12 outs. He gave up a solo homer to Pete Alonso but limited the damage despite being inefficient with his pitch count. The right-hander could soon be squeezed out of the Yankees’ rotation once Max Fried makes his way back from the injured list. Additionally, it’s unlikely that Warren factors into the rotation mix come October. It remains to be seen how New York plays this, but he is lined up to face the Astros at home next time out if he stays on schedule.
Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Yankees placed LHP Max Fried on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 14, with a left elbow bone bruise.

Not great. It’s unclear how much time Fried is going to miss, but it’s a massive concern for the Yankees, and fantasy managers, with less than six weeks left in the season. He was scheduled to start against the Orioles on Wednesday. The 32-year-old southpaw limited the Mariners to one run over five innings last Thursday in his fifth start back from the injured list after missing time for the same issue earlier this season. It’ll be Carlos Rodón (elbow) taking his spot in New York’s rotation, which means that neither Will Warren or Ryan Weathers are heading to the bullpen now.
Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will be activated from the injured list to start against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Rodón returns to New York’s rotation for the first time since hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation back on July 3. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw recorded seven punchouts over 4 1/3 shutout frames for Double-A Somerset in his final rehab tune-up last week. He shouldn’t have any significant workload restrictions in his return from the injured list and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. His return bumps Will Warren back an additional day and figures to push hard-throwing southpaw Ryan Weathers into a relief role.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Aaron Judge is “not quite there yet” in his recovery from a calf strain.

Boone added that the determination to leave Judge off the club’s AL Wild Card Series roster was made after meeting with trainers following a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium on Monday. The 34-year-old franchise cornerstone told reporters last week that he was planning to be ready for the start of the postseason, but that always felt a bit unrealistic after he suffered a calf strain back on September 16. It sounds like there’s a decent chance that Judge returns for the AL Division Series, if New York manages to get past the Red Sox. There should be some additional clarity on his next steps later this week.

J.T. Realmuto hit a two-run triple in Tuesday’s Game 1 loss to Atlanta in the Wild Card Series.

Realmuto lined a ball into the right-field corner off Didier Fuentes that scored a pair of runs in the seventh that gave Philadelphia a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately for Realmuto and the Phillies, that lead would not last. The 35-year-old will be behind the plate in a must-win Game 2 against Atlanta on Wednesday.

Jhoan Duran allowed three runs in two innings in a loss to Atlanta in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday.

Duran came in to pitch the seventh and eighth as interim manager Don Mattingly looked to cement a Game 1 win. He did the job in the seventh, but the 28-year-old gave up a hit and a hit-by-pitch before leaving a pitch in the middle of the plate to Austin Riley that Riley hit out to right field. Duran also threw 27 pitches, so while he’ll likely be available for Wednesday’s must-win game, it’s not a guarantee. Duran is one of the best relievers in the sport, but it wasn’t his day, and it’s fair to wonder if his manager put himself in the best position to succeed Tuesday.

Raisel Iglesias worked a scoreless ninth inning to pick up a save against the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

Iglesias allowed a leadoff single, but it was erased by a double play, and a fly ball to left gave Atlanta the critical Game 1 win. He needed just seven pitches, so there’s no doubt he’ll be ready to roll if necessary for Game 2 come Wednesday.

Austin Riley hit a go-ahead three-run homer to lead Atlanta to a 5-3 win over the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

With two runners on and two outs, Riley launched an opposite-field homer off Jhoan Duran to give Atlanta the lead and the victory. The 29-year-old was awful in the regular season and hasn’t been an elite hitter for the past few years, but he now has his team one game away from advancing to the NLDS against the Dodgers. The Phillies and Atlanta will play again Wednesday with Cristopher Sanchez squaring off against Tyler Mahle.

Chris Sale struck out nine over 6 1/3 innings while allowing three runs in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series.

Sale allowed just one run while he was in the game, but a pair scored in the seventh after he exited on a two-run triple by J.T. Realmuto. The left-hander was so much better than this line suggests while generating 22 swings-and-misses with 16 of those coming on his slider. Sale remains one of the best starters in baseball — although with more volatility because of durability at age 37 — and if Atlanta can’t come from behind and win, he’ll be the ace of the staff again to start 2027.

Jesús Luzardo threw five innings of one-run baseball in a no-decision versus Atlanta in Game 1 of the Wild Card Series on Tuesday.

So much for being the “opener. " Luzardo was able to throw 77 pitches, and outside of a scuffle in the second inning where he allowed his lone run, he was outstanding. The left-hander allowed just three hits, walked one and whiffed six while throwing 48-of-77 pitches for strikes. He generated a solid 11 swings-and-misses while averaging 96.6 mph; down ever-so-slightly from his average heater. If all checks out well and Philadelphia advances, he should be just fine for the NLDS against the Dodgers.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy told reporters Romy Gonzalez is recovering from a hyperextended elbow.

Tracy added that Gonzalez is “very much in play” for the remainder of the postseason after suffering the injury towards the end of the regular season at Triple-A Worcester. The fact that he’s still a little banged up is presumably why he wasn’t added to Boston’s postseason roster as a bench option against left-handed pitching.
