With reinforcements coming, Will Warren makes latest pitch to stay in Yankees starting rotation

Yankees pitcher Will Warren delivered another strong outing against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, May 2, 2026, strengthening his case to remain in New York's starting rotation. His position is under threat as veterans Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole are both expected to return before the end of June, requiring two rotation spots. Rookie Elmer Rodriguez, recently called up, is among those whose roster spot could be impacted by the returning pitchers.
