SNY | John Flanigan<\/a>: Will Warren dominated the Royals Saturday, holding them off the board into the seventh inning to continue an encouraging start. \u201cThe four-seam was really playing well,\u201d Aaron Boone said<\/a> of his second-year starter. \u201cHe got a lot of swing-and-miss, the changeup was good today too, I just think it was the overall mix \u2014 it was good to see him take that lead and run with it, really good job.\u201d Warren has pitched to a 2.49 ERA through five starts, building on a campaign in which he finished eighth in AL Rookie of the Year voting last year.<\/p>\n

NY Post | Greg Joyce:<\/a> The offense also played its part in making the win a rare comfortable victory. Cody Bellinger led the charge with two homers, as the lineup overall coasted to 13 runs. This outburst came against left-hander Noah Cameron, a particularly encouraging sign as the team had entered play with a .535 OPS against southpaws, second-worst in baseball.<\/p>\n

ESPN | Jorge Castillo<\/a>: Aaron Boone threw some cold water on anyone anticipating a rapid return from Gerrit Cole, who made his first rehab start on Friday against Double-A Somerset, indicating he will need \u201cseveral more\u201d rehab outings first, with a return expected by early June. \u201cNothing\u2019s imminent here,\u201d the Yankees manager noted. \u201cWe\u2019ll be disciplined and make sure we take the right amount of time.\u201d Cole threw 44 pitches across 4.1 innings, and his fastball was sitting around 95 mph. Carlos Rod\u00f3n still appears ahead of Cole, even though he won\u2019t begin his rehab until this week.<\/p>\n

SNY | John Flanigan<\/a>: Saturday\u2019s rout was also a showcase for Ben Rice, who\u2019s begun 2026 proving the predictive nature of analytics which indicated he was profoundly unlucky last season. Boone sat lefty-masher Paul Goldschmidt against the left-handed Cameron and the gambit paid off, with Rice crushing a 398-footer lefty-on-lefty to notch his third straight game with a home run. After the game, his OPS sat at 1.224, second-best in baseball.<\/p>\n

NJ.com | Bob Klapisch<\/a>: Day games at Yankee Stadium have been kicking off a little later than in years past this season. At the request of several veterans, including Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees pushed their start times back from 1:05 to 1:35 with the goal of allowing more time for recuperation and preparation. The seemingly minor change has had a noticeable impact. \u201cIt\u2019s a 100 percent improvement,\u201d said Stanton. \u201cFor some guys, the extra sleep in their prep. For other guys, they use time here getting treatment. I like it. The extra half hour feels like an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SNY | John Flanigan: Will Warren dominated the Royals Saturday, holding them off the board into the seventh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,4,1690,62,2548,2547,142,42069,3881],"class_list":{"0":"post-679016","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-yankees","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-yankees","12":"tag-newyork","13":"tag-newyorkyankees","14":"tag-yankees","15":"tag-yankees-link-roundup","16":"tag-yankees-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116430841050760262","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
