Will Warren

Matt Mervis and Graham Pauley homered off him. Warren struck out six. He'll be in the rotation initially with Clarke Schmidt landing on the injured list. He'll need to outpitch Carlos Carrasco -- maybe by a considerable margin -- for it to be more than a brief stay, but he is easily the better bet of the two.

Mervis's homer off Will Warren was his first hit since March 14, and he closed out the spring at .212/.255/.481. If he had started it like he finished, he'd probably be looking at another Triple-A stint. As is, he projects as the Marlins' primary first baseman, barring a late waiver pickup here.

Yarbrough was released by the Blue Jays on Sunday, and it didn't take long for him to find a new home. He'll be a multi-inning option for the Yankees, and possibly could make starts if options like Will Warren and Carlos Carrasco scuffle. Luis Gil (lat) was placed on the IL to make room.

Will Warren, the Yankees' fifth-overall prospect, will start the 2025 season in the big-league rotation, manager Aaron Boone revealed on Sunday afternoon.

Manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that 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.
