"Since Gerrit Cole went down with a UCL injury, New York has been searching for someone to step up. Even without their ace, the rotation has held strong, ranking fourth in ERA (3.67), 12th in WHIP (1.22), third in opponents' batting average (.227), and 10th in starting pitching WAR (0.9). Will Warren, Ryan Yarbrough, Cam Schlittler, and Luis Gil have all answered the call at times, but each comes with a concern."
"Will Warren has struggled against the AL East contenders this season. In three starts against the Red Sox, he's allowed 15 runs over 14.1 innings, posting a 9.42 ERA while giving up at least four runs each time. His lone outing against the Blue Jays wasn't much better, allowing eight runs on 10 hits in just four innings. Against the rest of the current AL playoff field, however, Warren has been far more effective, pitching to a 2.49 ERA across 21.2 innings"
Gerrit Cole went down with a UCL injury, leaving a vacancy in the Yankees' postseason rotation. The rotation has performed well overall, ranking fourth in ERA (3.67), 12th in WHIP (1.22), third in opponents' batting average (.227), and 10th in starting pitching WAR (0.9). Candidates for the third starter include Will Warren, Ryan Yarbrough, Cam Schlittler, and Luis Gil, each with tradeoffs: Warren struggles against AL East opponents, Yarbrough has been inconsistent and has an oblique injury history, Gil has command issues, and Schlittler has fewer than 15 major-league starts.
