Yankees' Will Warren: Secures rotation spot
Manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Will Warren made the season-opening rotation and will make his first start April 1 versus Arizona, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.The right-hander entered camp with an outside shot to earn a place in the Opening Day rotation, but long-term injuries to Luis Gil (lat) and Gerrit Cole (elbow) blew that door wide open. Warren had a good showing during spring training with a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings, though he did serve up three homers. Clarke Schmidt will begin the season on the IL due to a shoulder issue but may not be sidelined long, so Warren may need a strong start to the campaign in order to retain his rotation spot.

Yankees' Will Warren: Still in running for rotation spot
Will Warren will likely open the campaign in the New York Yankees' rotation if Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) begins the season on the injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.Warren has been battling for a rotation spot all spring, as injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat) have depleted New York's starting pitching depth. Carlos Carrasco's impressive spring is likely to earn him a rotation spot, and Marcus Stroman seems to be a lock for a starting role as well, but Warren may still have a place in the rotation if Schmidt -- who has pitched in only one Grapefruit League game but did throw live batting practice Thursday -- isn't ready for his first scheduled start. Warren struggled in his most recent outing Thursday against Baltimore, allowing four runs and serving up two homers in 3.2 innings, but he's been mostly impressive this spring and has good numbers overall, including a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 19.1 frames.

Yankees' Will Warren: Could start season in rotation
Will Warren may begin the regular season as the New York Yankees' fifth starter due to injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat), Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.Gil has already been ruled out for multiple months, and Cole -- who is awaiting the results of tests on his right elbow -- may be sidelined for an extended period as well. If the latter scenario takes place, Warren is likely to be needed as a starter from the get-go, joining Marcus Stroman as replacements in the rotation before the arrival of Opening Day. Warren struggled in his first taste of the big leagues last year, posting a 10.32 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 22.2 regular-season innings. However, he's pitched very well this spring, giving up just one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 11 over eight frames.

Yankees' Will Warren: Looks great again Tuesday
Will Warren allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four batters over three innings in a Grapefruit League game against Philadelphia on Tuesday.Warren gave up a solo homer to Max Kepler in the second inning, but that was the only hit that he allowed. The right-hander threw 47 pitches in the outing, 30 of which were strikes, and reached 95.8 mph on his fastball. Warren has been impressive this spring, giving up just one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 11 over eight frames. With Luis Gil (lat) expected to miss extended time at the beginning of the regular season, Warren could find himself in New York's rotation, though Marcus Stroman may be the leading candidate for the team's fifth-starter role given his big-league experience.

Yankees' Will Warren: Ascending this spring
Will Warren struck out four in three perfect innings Wednesday against the Cardinals.Warren threw 13 sweepers, 12 sinkers, seven four-seamers and three changeups, with his sweeper doing the heavy lifting on a dominant second start of the spring. With Clarke Schmidt (back) expected to progress to live batting practice this weekend, it's too soon to say if the New York Yankees will have to dip into their starting pitching depth right away this season. However, Warren has clearly established himself as a high-upside, ascending pitcher early this spring, and he's at worst seventh on the Yankees' starting pitching depth chart.

Yankees' Will Warren: Back in majors
The New York Yankees recalled Will Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.Warren owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over 21.2 innings across five big-league starts this season, and it seems likely he'll be available out of the bullpen for New York during the final two games of the regular season. Cody Poteet was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Yankees' Will Warren: Sent back to Triple-A
The New York Yankees optioned Will Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.Warren gave up four earned runs over four innings during his spot start Saturday, and the Yankees will waste no time sending him back to the minors. The 25-year-old righty now owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 21.2 innings across five MLB starts, and his demotion to Triple-A opens up a slot in New York's rotation for Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat) to fill once one of them returns from the injured list.

Yankees' Will Warren: Allows four runs in loss
Will Warren (0-3) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.Warren yielded four runs in the third inning, including a three-run home run to Brendan Donovan. The rookie generated just five whiffs on 76 pitches and has now surrendered four earned runs or more in four of his five starts with the New York Yankees. He owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 21.2 major-league innings and will likely cede his spot in the rotation upon the return of Luis Gil (back) or Clarke Schmidt (lat).

Yankees' Will Warren: Getting another start Saturday
Will Warren is scheduled to start Saturday's game versus the Cardinals at Yankee Stadium, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.Warren returned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week and made his fourth start of the season Saturday in the New York Yankees' loss to the Rockies, giving up six runs (five earned) in three innings. Though Warren owns a solid 23:6 K:BB over 17.2 innings, a .451 BABIP along with three home runs has played a large part in his bloated 9.68 ERA. Warren should enjoy better results once his BABIP normalizes, but he likely won't have much runaway in the Yankees rotation after Saturday. The Yankees could get Luis Gil (back) and/or Clarke Schmidt (lat) back from the injured list the next time a fifth starter will be needed.
