New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren turned in a solid start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Warren pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing no runs on five hits and a walk with a season-high 10 strikeouts. The 25-year-old has had a good season overall through his first 10 starts, going 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and an 11.57 K/9 rate in 46 2/3 IP. His next start will be a favorable matchup against a weak Rockies lineup, but he will have to face them in Coors Field. He has allowed hard contact this season but has done a good job keeping the ball on the ground, so he would be a safer start in points leagues.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren lasted a season-high 7 1/3 innings in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Athletics, allowing just one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters on the way to earning his second win of the season. The 25-year-old hadn't pitched more than five innings in any of his previous seven turns through the rotation, so this was also his first quality start of the year as well. Now the owner of a 4.75 ERA (3.34 xFIP), 1.36 WHIP, and a 15.8 percent K-BB%, the righty will take on Seattle on the road in his next start, a team that has been surprisingly good on offense this season (sixth-most runs per game), so unless you're in desperate need of strikeouts, Warren may be best left on the bench or waiver wire next week.

New York Yankees pitching prospect Will Warren struggled during his loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday evening. The right-hander logged just three 1/3 innings of work and allowed six hits and four runs. He served up two walks and struck out five batters. Warren was able to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but has struggled at times during his first extended look in the major leagues. Through his first 24 innings of the campaign (six starts), the 25-year-old has held a 5.63 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP. During this stint, he has struck out 26 batters and served up 12 free passes. Under the hood, he has placed in the 30th percentile and 26th percentile in xERA and xBA, which suggests he may continue to see inconsistent results. As a result, he should only be targeted in 15-team formats for his strikeout upside.

On Sunday, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that pitching prospect Will Warren made the Opening Day roster and will make his first start on April 1 versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Warren, getting his first taste of MLB, is a 25-year-old drafted by the Yankees in the eighth round of the 2021 MLB draft. Warren has had a respectable spring training, logging 19 innings, a 4.19 ERA, 4.57 FIP, and an 8.84 K/9. The Yankees have been struck with the injury bug, losing their ace Gerrit Cole (elbow) for the year and Luis Gil (lat) for at least the first three months of the season. This opens the door for Warren and allows him to show he belongs in the big leagues. Fantasy managers can stay away from Warren for the time being until he showcases some consistency in his first few starts.

New York Yankees starting pitcher prospect Will Warren stumbled for the second consecutive spring start, allowing four earned runs on seven hits (including two home runs) and two walks whilestriking out three in Thursday's 9-7 Grapefruit League win over the Orioles. The good news, however, was that the righty was able to throw 74 pitches, potentiallygetting him closer to locking down a rotation spot for New York. The Yankees will already be without Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil to begin the season, but now Clarke Schmidt looks like he won't be ready either, which would all but guarantee Warren's role. Although the 25-year-old got hit around his last two starts, he looked impressive over his first three and still boasts a 5:19 BB:K over his 19 1/3 Grapefruit League innings. The Yankees' second-ranked pitching prospect would be worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues given his strong strikeout stuff and potential to rack up wins with that offensive backing.

New York Yankees starting pitcher prospect turned in yet another impressive start in Tuesday's 12-3 Grapefruit League win over the Phillies, tossing three innings, allowing one earned run on one hit (a home run) while walking one and striking out four. It was the first earned run he's allowed this preseason over a total of eight innings pitched (1.13 ERA), yielding just two hits and two walks while striking out 11 batters. The righty is doing all the right things to earn a rotation spot this spring, especially with Luis Gil going down with injury, but right now, it is veteran Marcus Stroman penciled into the fifth rotation spot, not Warren. Stroman, on the other hand, hasn't been very good this spring but obviously has the edge in terms of experience. If the Yankees' second-ranked pitching prospect doesn't win the job this spring, look for the former eighth-round draft pick to be the first one called up when New York needs an arm. If he does win the job, Warren would be rosterable in many leagues, so keep close tabs on this competition.

New York Yankees starting pitcher prospect Will Warren turned in his second consecutive strong outing to open the spring season, tossing three innings of perfect baseball in Wednesday's 7-0 Grapefruit League win over the Cardinals. The righty didn't allow a hit or a walk while striking out four batters, utilizing a four-pitch mix that included a nasty sweeper and a four-seamer that coaxed three whiffs on its own. The 25-year-old debuted with the Yankees last season, but the results weren't nearly as stellar, however, with a strong spring, he could be one of the first options to be called upon to fill a rotation spot if necessary. Despite a high ERA and WHIP last year at Triple-A, the 6-foot-2 hurler struck out 136 batters in 109 2/3 IP (11.16 K/9). As he's not expected to break camp with the club, the former eighth-rounder is not on the 2025 fantasy draft radar, but is certainly giving redraft managers reason to take notice.

The New York Yankees recalled right-handed pitching prospect Will Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday and placed right-hander Luis Gil (back) on the 15-day injured list with a lower-back strain in a corresponding move. Even though Warren, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has an 8.59 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in his first three major-league starts this year, he's worth a look for rotation depth in deep mixed leagues now that he's back in the majors and likely to take Gil's spot in New York's starting rotation. The 25-year-old former eighth-round pick in 2021 out of Southeastern Louisiana allowed 14 runs on 19 hits (three homers) while walking five and striking out 17 in 14 2/3 innings in his three starts against the Phillies, Angels and White Sox. In the long run, Warren profiles as a back-end starter in the Bronx.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren has been recalled to take the mound against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. This appears to be a spot start for Warren, so fantasy managers looking for long term help aren't likely going to get it here. Warren has allowed 12 earned runs over two starts with the big league club this season. He holds a 6.11 ERA across 20 starts in Triple-A, so 2024 hasn't been a good year for Warren. He does have a favorable matchup against the White Sox sluggish lineup, but remains a shaky streaming option given his numbers this season.
