Overview

  • The Yankees’ starting rotation has rebounded from a league-worst 5.40 ERA through April 13 to a 2.89 ERA since April 14, driven by standout performances from Max Fried and Carlos Rodón.
  • Rookie pitcher Will Warren struck out a career-high 10 batters over 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a 5-2 victory against the Rangers on May 20, marking his third consecutive strong start.
  • Warren attributes his recent success to improved confidence in his pitch repertoire and collaboration with coaches and teammates, including guidance from pitching coach Matt Blake.
  • Aaron Judge and Ben Rice provided key offensive contributions in the win, with Judge hitting his 16th home run of the season and Rice adding a solo shot and a sacrifice fly.
  • The Yankees, now nine games over .500, continue their series against the Rangers with Ryan Yarbrough and Carlos Rodón set to start the next two games.
