Now in the heart of spring training, the Yankees head to Clearwater for their 10th exhibition game of the year, this one against the Phillies. It\u2019s been a strong start for the Bombers, as they\u2019ve gone 7-2 thus far in their Grapefruit League play, and will look to continue the solid stretch with Will Warren on the bump.<\/p>\n
This will be Warren\u2019s second outing of the spring, with his first being a pretty strong performance in which he allowed one run across 2.2 innings of work, striking out four opposing Toronto batters. Warren was a steady performer throughout the 2025 season for the Yankees, managing a 4.07 FIP in his (tied-for) league-leading 33 starts on the mound. He will likely be depended on once again, particularly with several pitchers still recovering on the injured list to begin the year.<\/p>\n
The Phillies will be sending Andrew Painter to the mound for his first outing of the spring. He\u2019s ranked as the organization\u2019s second-best prospect, and a top-50 guy overall, and features strong off-speed pitches. The primary concern with Painter, however, is a difficulty to locate his solid stuff, and he\u2019s also had a couple injury-riddled years that have derailed his path to The Show.<\/p>\n
The Yankees are running out a mixed bag of starters and prospects in Sunday\u2019s lineup. Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and Jasson Dom\u00ednguez lead the charge, while George Lombard Jr. adds some intrigue deeper down the list. Ryan McMahaon and Paul DeJong will be getting a look this afternoon as well. The Phillies, meanwhile, feature a similar layout on their card. Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto, Alec Bohm, and Bryson Stott will be getting some at-bats to begin this one.<\/p>\n
Follow along with us for a Sunday afternoon East Coast matchup!<\/p>\n
