Warren received a touchdown and a field goal’s worth of run support from New York’s formidable lineup and held up his end of the bargain, carrying a shutout into the seventh inning before finally relenting a two-run homer to Royals rookie Carter Jensen. He was in complete control from the outset in this one, generating 11 swinging strikes and needing just 93 pitches (62 strikes) to navigate seven frames. He’ll carry a sharp 2.49 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 31/6 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings into a road tilt against the Astros on Friday.

Only plunking Jo Adell prevented Warren from being perfect through three. However, the fourth started with a José Caballero error, and Warren was pulled after giving up a double with one out and then a single, a walk and another single with two outs. It probably had to be done with Warren up to 37 pitches in the inning. Warren struck out six, and since the run support wasn’t lacking, there’s a great chance he would have gotten a win tonight if only he could have overcome the error. He’ll face the Royals this weekend.

Both runs scored in the fourth on three singles, a walk and a wild pitch. Warren would have gotten through the fifth, but a Ben Rice error extended the inning, and Tim Hill was brought in to retire Lawrence Butler with two outs. Warren ended up striking out five and walking three. His ERA sits at 3.07, and he should be a nice streaming option next week with scheduled home starts against the Angels and Royals.

He struck out six and didn’t walk anybody. Warren did leave with a couple of ducks on the pond, but Tim Hill came on to strand both and keep Warren’s shot at a win alive. Warren’s fastball velocity dropped a bit today, down to 93.6 mph from a 94.7 average in his first start. The Yankees will remain a great environment to chase wins with, but we’re not seeing much of a step forward yet from Warren, who despite the early-season 2.70 ERA has remained fairly hittable.

This probably would have been a win for Warren a few weeks from now, but the Yankees opted to lift him at 82 pitches with two outs to go in the fifth. Warren seems like a significant improved pitcher in year two, which might complicate things for the Yankees in a good way once Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole come back. He’s a decent mixed-league play for now, particularly with the Marlins up next.

Warren concluded an exceptional spring with a 1.42 ERA and a 22/3 K/BB in 25 1/3 innings. He was actually hit rather hard today — the 10 balls in play against him averaged 99.1 mph off the bat — but most of the contact was on the ground. Warren is likely to start the Yankees’ third game of the season Saturday in San Francisco, and he seems like a fine streaming option for those who have drafted some injured pitchers.

Warren has been one of the bright spots for the Yankees this spring, posting an impressive 1.77 ERA 16/3 K/BB ratio across 20 1/3 innings of work. The 26-year-old righty will open the year at the back end of New York’s rotation and offers some streaming appeal in deeper mixed leagues against weaker lineups on the road.

He struck out just two, but also allowed only two hits and breezed through the game with just 64 pitches thrown. The fastball sat at 93.9 mph and he managed to get whiffs on 42 percent of swings against it. Warren now sits at a 1.65 ERA in four starts in big-league camp. He’ll have some early season runway before Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon return to the rotation, but we’re not overly optimistic he’ll be more than a streaming option unless we see continued steps forward with the arsenal.

Warren’s only run allowed came on a sac fly by the Nats that occurred shortly after an error by George Lombard Jr. The 26-year-old has been excellent this spring; allowing just oen earned run in his three outings. Warren appears to have a spot in the starting rotation to begin the year, but his spot will be tenuous with arms like Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón set to join the staff this summer.

Warren’s new harder sweeper fared well again today, generating eight strikes and no balls in play on the 13 times he threw it. The competition for spots in the Yankees rotation could be ferocious once Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole are about ready to return, so it’s encouraging that Warren has looked strong so far.

Warren seems to have tightened up his sweeper some; he threw the pitch today two mph harder than he did last year, even as his fastball velocity held steady. That has the potential to be a nice change for him, as it was his weakest pitch last season; the league hit .336 against it.

Warren’s Jekyll and Hyde regular season ended with another start where he missed plenty of bats but also made some costly mistakes. Like when he missed his spot badly with an 0-2 sweeper to Jordan Westburg that turned into a three-run home run. That one mispitch destroyed his final line because his stuff was nasty otherwise. The strikeout upside will make us all very excited about Warren during draft season, just don’t forget about his command woes.

Warren allowed just one run through five, but he and Jazz Chisholm Jr. committed back-to-back errors to open the sixth, fueling a two-run inning. It’s the fourth straight start of Warren’s that the Yankees have lost, though he was pretty good in three of them, and he’s now 8-8 with a 4.35 ERA overall. He’ll be due to start again Thursday against the White Sox, but one wonders if the Yankees might want to take a quick look at him in relief next week in anticipation of potentially using him that way in the postseason.

Warren walked one batter on the night while recording a pair of strikeouts. All of the scoring done against him came in the opening inning as the Red Sox started the game with five consecutive hits, a sacrifice fly and RBI ground out and then a solo homer by Carlos Narváez. Warren settled in afterwards and finished his day with four scoreless frames to help absorb the ratio damage. He got 11 swings and misses on 89 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll carry an underwhelming 4.44 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 160/62 K/BB ratio (152 innings) into Friday’s matchup against the Orioles in Baltimore.

Warren racked up five strikeouts on the night while issuing one base on balls. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning as Spencer Torkelson worked a leadoff walk and Parker Meadows swatted a two-run homer. Aside from that one mistake, Warren was exceptional. He generated 13 swings and misses on 91 pitches on the evening, posting a strong CSW of 31 percent. Warren has done a decent job for the Yankees this season, going 8-6 with a 4.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 158/61 K/BB ratio over 147 innings of work. He’ll do battle against the Red Sox his next time out on Sunday night at Fenway Park.

Warren struck out three batters on the evening while allowing two free passes. All of the scoring done against him came on a grand slam by Miguel Vargas in the second inning after an error by Anthony Volpe had extended the inning. The 26-year-old hurler generated seven swings and misses on 93 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 28 percent. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 4.30 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 149/60 K/BB ratio (136 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Astros in Houston.

Warren carried a shutout into the third inning before the metaphorical wheels began to come off. He surrendered a two-run double to Trevor Story but managed to wriggle out of a bases-loaded jam by getting Masataka Yoshida to line out to first base. He wasn’t so fortunate in the ensuing frame as Boston struck for two additional runs before Story got to him for a solo shot in the fifth, which ended his outing. He struck out three and also issued three walks in the underwhelming performance. He’s in line for a tasty matchup on Thursday against the rebuilding White Sox.

Warren gave up six hits, walked one and struck out three while falling one out short of qualifying for a win. The 26-year-old right-hander had struck out at least four batters in 12 of his last 13 starts. Warren has a 4.25 ERA and 143/55 K/BB ratio in 127 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Red Sox at home next weekend.

Homers from Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach didn’t stop Warren from moving to 7-5 with a 4.34 ERA. That’s because he allowed just one other hit, walked none and struck out seven on the night. He’ll again be worth using in mixed leagues Sunday against the Cardinals.

Warren racked up five strikeouts on the evening while issuing three free passes. Each of the three hits that he allowed in the ballgame were doubles, but the 26-year-old hurler was able to keep the Rangers off the board each time. Unfortunately, the Yankees’ offense couldn’t scratch out a single run of support for him. Warren got 12 whiffs on 98 pitches on the day — eight on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll attempt to further improve upon his 4.44 ERA and 1.42 WHIP when he takes on the Twins at home on Monday.

While the results wound up solid, Warren is still trying to work through some of the same command problems that have plagued him for the better part of a month. The Rays stacked their lineup with left-handed batters – often an issue for Warren – and he didn’t force a single swing-and-miss against them. He only forced four in total anyway, as he once again failed to consistently locate his sweeper. Still, he didn’t allow much solid contact and never let the Rays sustain a rally against him. Perhaps this says something about the floor he’s establishing for himself and his stomach to fight through a start without his best stuff. He’s scheduled to face the Rangers in Texas next time out.

This game got out of hand late, but that was no fault of Warren. He finally got back on track after a string of poor starts in July by finding the command of both his sweeper and sinker. The sweeper forced a handful of timely swings-and-misses while the sinker generated plenty of soft contact. The key to each was keeping them low in the zone after he struggled to locate them for the better part of a month. His next start is scheduled to come at home against the Rays.

Warren was fortunate to avoid the loss, as he gave up a pair of homers among his five hits while walking three. He did strike out five, and that helped a poor start become a disaster. Warren had pitched well in his previous two outings, but this was a reminder that the command still needs a lot of work. He’s slated to face the Phillies next week.

He also struck out just one while walking three and throwing 52 of his 88 pitches for strikes on the day. Warren didn’t have his best command on the day, posting just a 49 percent zone rate overall while inducing only seven whiffs on 43 swings for a 16 percent whiff rate and 18 percent CSW. The rookie will end the first half with a 4.63 ERA in 95 1/3 innings; however, his strikeout rate and 3.63 SIERA suggest that a better second half could be in order if he can continue to make his command more precise.

Unlike Logan Gilbert, Warren had no issues with the 35-minute rain delay tonight, though maybe his was a little easier; because he was mid-inning when it happened, his delay was actually 35 minutes, whereas Gilbert went closer to 50 minutes between pitches. Warren is now 6-4 with a 4.70 ERA that doesn’t really illustrate how much more often he’s been good than bad. He’ll finish off the first half with a start against the Cubs.

The Jays had seven runs before Warren got his second out in the first inning, so it’s really rather impressive that he got through four like he did. He didn’t have much luck early, either; while he did give up two homers, he also surrendered four singles on non-hard-hit balls in the first. A nine-pitch walk to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was awfully rough, too. Warren has been good enough recently that it’s worth sticking with him for his upcoming matchup against the Mariners.

Warren gave up two hits, walked four and struck out seven. The 26-year-old right-hander got into a jam in the first inning by walking the bases loaded, but he escaped without allowing a run. Warren threw nearly 40 pitches in the first inning, but was able to settled in and was efficient enough to get through five innings to earn the win. Warren has a 4.37 ERA on the year, but his 3.11 xFIP shows he’s pitched much better than that. Warren has allowed a .322 BABIP and stranded only 67 percent of runners on the season, which have been contributing factors to his less-than-stellar ERA. He’s lined up to face the Blue Jays on the road next week.

Warren exited with the Yankees down one, so he didn’t personally benefit from the team’s comeback. Gunnar Henderson aside, the Orioles were pretty aggressive at the plate today, and Warren needed just 86 pitches to get his 19 outs. It was his second longest outing to date. He has a 3.47 ERA and a 27/7 K/BB in 23 1/3 innings over his four starts this month. His next start will likely come Saturday against the A’s.

Warren struck out eight batters for the first time on May 4. He struck out nine for the first time on May 14. He struck out 10 for the first time one start later on May 20. And now he’s upped his career high again, albeit in a losing cause with the Yankees getting shut out for a third straight game. Warren dropped to 4-4 with a 4.83 ERA, but he’ll be worth playing against the Orioles this weekend.

Seth Lugo matched him precisely, and this one was scoreless until the eighth. Warren ended up allowing four hits, walking one and striking out four. He still hasn’t gone six innings in a start this season, though he might have tonight if not for a 28-minute rain delay before he came back out for the sixth. Next on the schedule for him is a start at home versus the Angels.
