Adam

Warren

Warren last pitched in the majors in 2019 before having Tommy John surgery that September. He spent parts of eight seasons in the majors, mostly with the Yankees, and wound up with a fine 3.53 ERA in 21 starts and 302 relief appearances.

Warren was shut down for a few days earlier this month with a sore pitching shoulder, but he’s evidently put the ailment behind him. The veteran reliever is competing for a spot in the bullpen.

A tough break for Warren, who missed the entirety of the 2020 season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He’s thrown three scoreless innings this spring as a non-roster invitee. The clock is ticking for the season, so this will likely take him out of consideration for a bullpen spot.

Cole threw a 50-pitch live batting practice session at the Yankees spring training facility on Saturday morning. Meanwhile, another former Pirates’ right-hander, Jameson Taillon, will toe the rubber against their former organization. With rain in the forecast, it’s unclear how for he’ll go in this one, but he’s still scheduled to start the exhibition contest. Jhoulys Chacin, Luis Cessa, Brooks Kriske and Adam Warren also slated to pitch this afternoon.

The 33-year-old right-hander missed the entirety of the 2020 season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he’s now fully recovered and ready to rock. Warren struggled with the Padres during the 2019 season, but was a fixture in the Yankees bullpen for much of the last decade. If he’s healthy and shows any semblance of his former self, he has a good shot at earning a role in the Opening Day bullpen.

Warren was released by the Yankees back in July, but he’s back in the organization once again. The 32-year-old missed the entire 2020 season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he’s expected to be ready to go whenever spring training begins. He’s a possible bullpen option for New York.

Warren signed a minor league contract with New York over the winter after struggling to a 5.34 ERA in 25 relief appearances last season with the Padres. The 32-year-old is now a free agent again.

Warren underwent Tommy John surgery in September and isn’t expected to pitch until 2021. The 32-year-old posted a 5.34 ERA across 25 appearances with the Padres in 2019.

Warren will receive a $500,000 buyout and become a free agent. The 32-year-old right-hander underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in early September and is likely to miss the entire 2020 season.

The Pads needed to free up a couple spots on the 40-man roster. Warren remains out indefinitely with a forearm strain.
