Yankees Scratch Gerrit Cole With Body Fatigue, To Select Will Warren

By Anthony Franco | July 30, 2024 at 2:59pm CDT

The Yankees scratched Gerrit Cole from tonight’s scheduled start against the Phillies due to general body fatigue. Well-regarded pitching prospect Will Warren is getting the call for a spot start in what’ll be his major league debut. The Yankees will need to select him onto the 40-man roster, which has two vacancies pending their deadline activity.

There’s no indication this is anything more than a day-to-day issue. Yet it’s at least worth monitoring after Cole missed the first half of the season with elbow inflammation. Cole has made seven starts since being reinstated in the middle of June. He owns an uncharacteristic 5.40 ERA thanks largely to nine home runs allowed.

If the Yankees are at all concerned about Cole’s health, it could impact their approach to the deadline over the next two hours. They’ve already been tied to starting pitchers, including to Jack Flaherty at the top of the market. There are rumblings the Yanks could even add an impact starter like Flaherty and look to flip Nestor Cortes.

Warren, 25, is a former eighth-round pick who has developed into one of New York’s top prospects. He ranks seventh among Yankees farmhands at Baseball America. Warren’s arsenal is headlined by his mid-90s fastball and potential plus slider. He has a shot to be a mid-rotation starter. The Southeastern Louisiana product has started 20 times in Scranton. His 6.11 earned run average is disappointing, but Warren has an impressive 27.1% strikeout rate against a manageable 8.2% walk percentage.

      We all know the real reason he’s getting scratched is because he’s getting traded to the Marlins for Stowers and Norby

      “Whatever he wants contract”..At last check, Crochet was asking for a 5+ year extension, his number immediately being retired and a legacy statute outside the stadium of any team that acquires him.

      I said it was a stupid contract when they signed him. Also absorbing that Stanton contract. At least Stanton is consistent, every summer off. Just like school teachers.

    Cole ain’t right. Prob that elbow. Couldn’t believe yanks thought they were in a position to trade away any starting P when their next man up is rookie w/ERA north of 6 runs a gm @AAA. Can’t have enough pitching ever. Look @the Dodgers, they have starting P galore, Glasnow, Yamamoto, Kershaw, Miller, Buehler, on mlb staff plus the kids they’ve brought up are doing better than expected, Stone, R. Ryan, Knack, n Wrobelski n LA was still adding to their embarrassment of riches obtaining Flaherty. Watch Nestor will be 2nd half ace n they were trying to give em away.
