Granted a favorable home matchup against the lowly Rockies, Warren capitalized on the opportunity with an excellent start and his most strikeouts since June 20 versus the Reds. The right-hander has been very effective for both the Yankees and fantasy managers alike lately, giving up two earned runs or fewer in five consecutive outings. He'll carry a season 4.05 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 141:49 K:BB over 142.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Minnesota.

During Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Padres, Warren made his second relief appearance of the season, firing 2.1 scoreless frames of relief behind starter Max Fried. The Yankees will separate Warren and Fried during the upcoming week, with Warren getting the nod Tuesday and Fried taking the hill Wednesday. Warren will likely be ticketed for the bullpen during the playoffs, but he could pick up a few more starts before the regular season wraps up.
