Outlook Will Warren
Will Warren looks to regain early-season form following a difficult stretch in the Yankees rotation
Warren has struggled to maintain his early-season efficiency, posting a 6.12 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP over his last two starts, including a 5.1-inning outing against the Tigers on July 1. The second-place Yankees are currently navigating a difficult seven-game losing streak and are leaning heavily on Warren as a mid-rotation staple with Max Fried and Clarke Schmidt on the injured list. Despite some recent bench-clearing drama in Boston, he remains a key fixture in the rotation for a club that sits at 48-38.
Under the hood, Warren's 3.79 ERA through 85.6 innings is significantly better than his 4.82 mark from last season, but his recent regression is concerning. While he is striking out nearly a batter per inning, his 1.38 WHIP for the year—which has spiked to 1.61 over the last 14 days—suggests he is inviting too much traffic to be considered a safe ratio play. Our models project him to settle closer to a 4.32 ERA, making this recent slide more of a correction than a fluke.
The Yankees conclude their week at home with a series against the Twins, but since Warren has already completed his scheduled turn on Wednesday, he will not take the mound again this week. Facing a Minnesota staff that features Joe Ryan on Sunday, the Yankees will look to Gerrit Cole and Ryan Weathers to snap their skid while Warren rests. Because he is a single-start pitcher who has already exhausted his weekly value with mediocre results, he is an easy bench for the remainder of the period. Sit.

Outlook Jake Bennett
Jake Bennett emerges as a reliable rotation stabilizer amid Red Sox injury woes
Bennett has been sensational lately, posting a microscopic 0.74 ERA and 0.74 WHIP over his last 14 days. He recently dominated the Yankees with 6.1 innings of one-run ball, providing a major lift to a fifth-place Boston squad currently sitting at 37-48. With the Red Sox rotation ravaged by injuries to starters like Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early, Bennett has firmly secured his role as a key starter in the rotation.
Under the hood, Bennett’s recent dominance is supported by elite command, evidenced by a 6.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last two starts. While his career 3.34 ERA and 1.08 WHIP suggest some minor regression is coming, his ability to limit baserunners appears legitimate. Our data indicates he is transitioning from a prospect depth piece to a high-floor fantasy asset who prioritizes efficiency over raw strikeout volume.
Looking at the week ahead, Bennett is scheduled for a single start on July 3 on the road against the Angels. He will face Reid Detmers, who carries a 4.07 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP, representing a manageable matchup for the surging lefty. Given his current form and the favorable park factors in Anaheim, he is an excellent option for managers looking to improve their pitching ratios. Start.
