Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #98

Will Warren pitched five-plus innings and was charged with two runs Tuesday in a no-decision against the Guardians.

After five scoreless frames, Warren gave up just his second and third hits of the game to start the sixth and was pulled. Both runners came around to score in what had been a 2-0 game, and the Yankees were down 3-2 by the time the inning ended. It was still a positive outing for Warren. He pitched into the sixth for the first time this season, even if he apparently shouldn’t have. He’ll take a 1-0 record and a 4.79 ERA into his next start against the Orioles.
Aaron Judge

NYY Right Fielder #99

Aaron Judge went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored against the Guardians on Tuesday.

As has often been the case, Judge and Ben Rice, who hit his sixth homer, were most of the offense for the Yankees in a 3-2 loss. Judge’s line tonight was unique for him; he’d had 11 four-hit games previously, but all of them came with at least one RBI. In fact, he had totaled 15 homers in those 11 games. Judge is now hitting .414 this season in a league that’s batting just .237 on the whole.
Giancarlo Stanton

NYY Right Fielder #27

Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) took on-field batting average on Tuesday at Progressive Field.

It’s a positive sign that Stanton has progressed to taking on-field batting practice, but it’s unclear whether there’s any sort of updated timetable for his potential return. The 35-year-old veteran slugger has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from ongoing issues with both of his elbows. There figures to be some clarity on his status at some point in the coming days.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice (elbow) is back in the lineup at DH for Tuesday’s game against the Guardians.

Rice missed two starts after suffering a bruised elbow when he was hit by a pitch Saturday. He’s leading off on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.
Tyler Matzek

NYY Relief Pitcher #88

Yankees selected the contract of LHP Tyler Matzek from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Matzek returned from a spring oblique injury to post a 1.93 ERA and a 5/2 K/BB in 4 2/3 innings in Triple-A. The 34-year-old southpaw was a key cog in the Braves bullpen for three years, most notably during the 2021 World Series run, but he had Tommy John surgery in 2023 and hasn’t had an easy time making it back.
Yoendrys Gomez

NYY Relief Pitcher #94

Yankees designated RHP Yoendrys Gómez for assignment,

Gomez, who is out of options, departs in spite of a 2.70 ERA in 10 innings to begin the season. Less impressive was his 5/9 K/BB. While his stuff has taken a bit of a step back since 2023, there’s a good chance a non-contender will pick him up and stick him in the bullpen. He’s just 25, and he has a solid 3.67 ERA and 93/39 K/BB in 83 1/3 innings over 21 starts and two relief appearances in his Triple-A career.
DJ LeMahieu

NYY 2nd Baseman #26

DJ LeMahieu, on the IL with a calf strain, is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset.

It sounded like this would happen about a week ago, but everyone is still taking things slowly here. The Yankees have thus far gotten a .263/.333/.342 line from their third basemen. LeMahieu has hit .252/.336/.362 over the last four seasons.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects Ben Rice (elbow) to return for Tuesday’s game against the Guardians.

Rice was able to take batting practice prior to Monday’s series opener and appears ready to rejoin New York’s lineup following a two-game absence due to a left elbow contusion.
Clarke Schmidt

NYY Starting Pitcher #36

Clarke Schmidt was tagged for five runs in four innings by the Guardians on Monday.

Schmidt struck out seven with 13 whiffs and a fine 33 percent CSW. He also gave up just four hard-hit balls. Alas, those four hard-hit balls produced two homers and two doubles. Schmidt possesses a 7.45 ERA after two starts back from the IL, but there should still be some mixed-league value here. he’ll face the Blue Jays next.
Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22

Ben Rice (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Guardians.

Rice will continue to sit out as he recovers from a left elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch over the weekend. X-rays came back negative for any fractures and a precautionary MRI didn’t reveal any structural damage. It might be a couple additional days before the pain and swelling subside, but Rice figures to rejoin New York’s lineup without requiring a trip to the injured list. He was able to take batting practice on Monday, which is a positive development.
