The New York Yankees are setting up their probable pitching rotation for the upcoming home series against the Texas Rangers, with Will Warren potentially lined up to take the mound in the opener. While nothing has been confirmed yet, the team will be looking to maximize every available arm as they continue their push forward.

Warren has made nine starts this season, posting a 2–2 record with a 4.61 ERA. He hasn’t been the most dominant arm in the rotation, but he’s far from the bottom—especially compared to Marcus Stroman, who’s sidelined with an 11.57 ERA, and Carlos Carrasco, who carries a 5.91 ERA.

Warren’s most recent outing came on May 14 against the Mariners, where he maintained his 4.61 ERA. Before that, on May 9, he helped the Yankees to a dominant 10–2 win over the Athletics and pitched a season-high 7.1 innings.

Carlos Rodón enters the series as the most reliable Yankees starter in terms of earned runs allowed. He currently holds a 3.17 ERA with a 5–3 record. His latest outing came in the Subway Series finale against the Mets, where he tossed five innings to pick up the win and maintain that 3.17 ERA.
