Giants' Austin Warren: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Warren to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
The Giants needed to make room on the pitching staff for Mason Black, who was recalled to start Saturday's game, and Warren will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 28-year-old threw two scoreless innings in his season debut Wednesday versus Milwaukee and could be a candidate to return to San Francisco down the stretch as bullpen depth.

Giants' Austin Warren: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
Warren was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of the Giants' official site.
Warren's last stint in the bigs was in 2023 for the Angels before undergoing Tommy John surgery. After signing with the Giants in February, he has recovered and spent the 2024 campaign with Triple-A Sacramento, where he has a 4.95 ERA overall. However, the 28-year-old has not allowed an earned run in his last eight outings and boasts a 1.54 ERA since July 14. In a corresponding move, Jordan Hicks was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

Giants' Austin Warren: Activated, optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants reinstated Warren (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Warren has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from the Tommy John procedure he underwent in May 2023. He has been playing in rehab games at Triple-A since June 18, and he'll essentially continue that rehab with Sacramento after allowing 10 runs (nine earned) in his first 8.1 innings. He will reclaim a spot on the 40-man roster, though he'll likely need to turn in better results in the minors before having a chance to join San Francisco.

Rotowire
Warren (elbow) is scheduled to make a one-inning rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Tuesday's outing will be the fifth of Warren's rehab assignment, which began June 5 in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. He's thus far worked four innings over his first four appearances between the ACL and Single-A San Jose, striking out four while giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits and no walks. The right-hander is working his way back from May 17, 2023 Tommy John surgery and will likely remain on his rehab assignment for at least this week before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list and joining the San Francisco bullpen.

Giants' Austin Warren: Moves to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Warren (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
The move to the long-term IL was an eventuality, as Warren underwent Tommy John surgery last May and isn't expected to be available until midseason. The right-hander joined the Giants on a one-year deal last week and has a 3.55 ERA in 32 big-league appearances over his career.

Warren (elbow) was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday.

Angels' Austin Warren: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Warren (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Warren likely won't be ready to rejoin the Los Angeles bullpen until at least the middle of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this month, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his timeline. Instead, the procedural move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for right-handed relief prospect Ben Joyce, who was called up from Double-A Rocket City on Sunday.

Angels' Austin Warren: Shut down from throwing
Rotowire
Warren (elbow) has been shut down from throwing for 4-to-6 weeks after receiving the results of his MRI, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Warren's MRI came back cleaner than that of Jose Quijada (elbow), but he's still going to be unable to throw for at least a month and very possibly more. The right-hander will then need a rehab assignment, and if all goes well, he could be a middle-innings option for the bullpen near the end of June.

Angels' Austin Warren: Shifted to minors camp
Rotowire
The Angels reassigned Warren to minor-league camp Friday.
Warren struggled last season with the Angels, logging a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, and it cost him his spot on the 40-man roster. His spring numbers were much better, however -- a promising sign that the 27-year-old reliever might perform well enough at Triple-A to reclaim his spot on the 40-man and eventually return to Los Angeles.

Angels' Austin Warren: Likely to open campaign in minors
Rotowire
Warren could possibly make the Angels' Opening Day roster, but he's more likely to begin the campaign in the minors, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Warren has pitched well this spring, posting a 2.25 ERA and 9:0 K:BB over eight innings. However, he lost his spot on the team's 40-man roster in January, which may hinder his ability to break camp with the club this year. Warren struggled with a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 16 frames in the majors last season, but he was excellent as a rookie in 2021, recording a 1.77 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB over 20.1 innings.

Angels' Austin Warren: DFA'd by Halos
Rotowire
The Angels designated Warren for assignment on Monday.
Warren serves as the Angels' roster casualty after the club signed Brett Phillips to a one-year deal Monday. The 26-year-old reliever gave up 10 earned runs over 16 innings in the majors last season. Warren had better luck in Triple-A, however, recording an impressive 2.12 ERA and 1.18 WHIP through 34 frames. He's likely to catch on with another team searching for some depth in the back-end of their bullpen.
