No doubt about it—Will Warren is making waves this spring, and honestly, good for him. With the Yankees’ never-ending injury parade, it’s refreshing to see a young arm step up and make the most of his shot. Opportunity knocked, and Warren didn’t just answer the door—he swung it wide open.
Take Saturday’s outing against the Tampa Bay Rays, for example. Warren pitched into the fifth before getting pulled with runners on, and unfortunately, the bullpen didn’t exactly have his back. That left him with three earned runs over four innings, but let’s not get caught up in the box score. He struck out four and continued showcasing the kind of filthy movement that has Yankees brass buzzing.
At this point, Warren has forced his way into the rotation conversation. He’s the frontrunner for the No. 5 spot, slotting in behind Marcus Stroman—who, ironically, was swirling in trade rumors just a few months ago. But with half the pitching staff held together by duct tape and prayers, both Stroman and Warren have become critical to the Yankees’ plans.
And Warren isn’t the only one making noise. Carlos Carrasco is also clawing his way into the rotation mix. Carrasco brings the experience, but Warren? He’s got the fresh arm, lively velocity, and a slider that makes hitters look silly. Plus, he’s sharpening his changeup and curveball to keep lefties guessing. The Yankees see the potential—how could they not?
Bottom line: the Yankees need all the pitching help they can get, and Warren is stepping up at the perfect time. With injuries piling up and Aaron Boone looking like he’s just as confused as the rest of us, guys like Warren and Carrasco aren’t just nice stories—they’re essential.
