Will Warren debuts with Yankees

Will Warren made his MLB debut for the New York Yankees on Tuesday, filling in for Gerrit Cole, who was sidelined due to body soreness. The 25-year-old right-hander faced a challenging start, allowing four runs, including a three-run homer, but showed resilience by retiring 12 of the final 14 batters he faced. Warren's performance ended with a no-decision in a 7-6 Yankees victory over the Phillies, where he struck out six batters in 5.1 innings. Despite his early struggles, both manager Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake praised Warren's demeanor and ability to recover. Ranked as the Yankees' seventh-best prospect, Warren's path to the majors included a rough start in Triple-A, but he demonstrated significant improvement leading up to his call-up. While he is expected to return to Triple-A with Cole's anticipated return, he remains a candidate for future call-ups as the season progresses.
