Overview
- Warren struck out nine over 6.1 innings in Friday’s 7-2 win in Baltimore, lifting him to 4-0 with a 2.39 ERA and 46 strikeouts through seven starts.
- New York’s starters own an MLB‑best 2.70 ERA across 32 games, and manager Aaron Boone praised Warren’s command and steadiness since spring.
- Rodón and Cole are expected back before the end of June, which will force two rotation decisions with Ryan Weathers likely shifting to the bullpen and Luis Gil already sent to Triple‑A.
- Warren credited confidence and 2025 lessons and said he leaned on more offspeed and a lefty‑targeted changeup Friday after his four‑seamer command lagged.
- Yahoo Sports projects a five of Cole, Max Fried, Rodón, Cam Schlittler and Warren once healthy, and notes the Yankees’ surplus could position them to consider pitching‑for‑need trades later this season.
