Austin Warren Fantasy Stats

Per the team's transaction log, the New York Mets have optioned right-handed pitcher Austin Warren to Triple-A Syracuse. The 29-year-old was up with the big-league squad to serve as an extra man for their doubleheader with the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, but isn't needed beyond that role. Warren retired the only batter he faced in a third of an inning of work and will head back to Triple-A, where he holds a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 38:12 K:BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings (20 appearances).

New York Yankees outfielder Trent Grisham (hamstring) and catcher Austin Wells (finger) remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays. Cody Bellinger is patrolling center field and is batting third, while Ben Rice will do the catching and hit leadoff versus Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Grisham is missing a second straight game with a left-hamstring injury, but he's hopeful to avoid a trip to the injured list before the All-Star break. He's just two homers away from tying his career-high but has slowed down considerably since earlier this season at the plate. Wells is dealing with arterial damage to his left index finger and will miss his fourth straight game. It's entirely possible that both Grisham and Wells will land on the IL if they don't improve soon and get back into the lineup. Both Rice and Bellinger are fine DFS plays on Wednesday against Berrios.

New York Mets reliever Austin Warren was recalled from AAA Syracuse on Thursday. Right-hander Jonathan Pintaro was optioned as the corresponding move. Warren has made just one appearance for the Mets this year and owns a career 3.08 ERA across 49 2/3 career big-league innings. In 29 2/3 innings pitched at AAA this season, Warren has a 3.94 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 35 K. His 27.6% strikeout rate at AAA is slightly intriguing, but Warren's career strikeout rate in the majors is a much more modest 18.9%. At 29 years old, Warren profiles as a depth piece in the Mets' bullpen and nothing more.

The New York Mets have assigned first baseman Jared Young and right-handed pitcher Austin Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. Young signed an MLB contract with the Mets earlier in the offseason. However, he will begin his 2025 season in the minor leagues. Last season, Young spent his entire campaign playing for Triple-A Memphis. Across 74 contests, Young posted a .285/.411/.506 slash line with 15 and 11 round-trippers. He last appeared in the major league during the 2023 season with the Chicago Cubs. Warren was claimed off waivers by the Mets during the winter. Last summer, Warren logged 10 2/3 innings in the majors with the Giants. He held a 1.69 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. Across 23 frames at Triple-A, Warren held a 4.70 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. Both players will be used as depth options for the Mets throughout the 2025 season.

According to Justice De Los Santos of the Mercury News, the New York Mets have claimed right-handed pitcher Austin Warren off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Over the past four seasons, Warren has logged 48 2/3 innings of work in the majors and held a 3.14 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. He has struck out 38 batters and held a high 11.8% walk rate. However, he did well limiting hard contact at a strong 26.7% and generating ground balls at an elite 53.3% rate. Across 100 1/3 career frames at Triple-A, he has held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training, as he will likely compete for a spot in the bullpen. However, given his limited track record in the majors, he will likely open the campaign at the Triple-A level.

According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, the San Francisco Giants have designated right-handed pitcher Austin Warren for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for catcher Sam Huff. Warren spent the first three seasons of his big league career with the Los Angeles Angels and joined San Francisco last summer. Across his brief ten-inning stint with San Francisco, Warren held a 1.69 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Over 48 2/3 major league innings, the reliever has posted a 3.14 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. In 23 innings with Triple-A Sacramento last summer, Warren held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Since Warren has been able to hold his own in the majors, he will likely ink a new contract with a new club before spring training.

The San Francisco Giants have signed relief pitcher Austin Warren to a one-year deal, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Warren flashed dominance as a rookie with the Angels in 2021 but has struggled since then, posting 5.60 K/9, 2.55 BB/9, and 2.04 HR/9 over two seasons. He will likely fill a depth role in San Francisco, keeping him off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Los Angeles Angels reliever Austin Warren will undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the remainder of the season and a large chunk of the 2024 campaign, as well. The right-hander was originally shut down from throwing for four-to-six weeks following an MRI on his elbow but it appears the injury is more severe than originally thought. While the 27-year-old hasn't had much success in 16 big-league appearances over the last two seasons, Warren did produce a tidy 1.77 ERA/2.09 FIP in the 2021 season at age 25. For his career, Warren owns a 3.55 ERA/3.76 FIP in 32 career appearances with six wins against zero losses in that time.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Austin Warren (elbow) is taking a trip to the injured list, according to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group. The 27-year-old felt discomfort in his elbow on Tuesday and will see how it feels in a few days. Warren has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with two strikeouts and no walks over just 1.2 innings thus far in 2023. In a corresponding move, the club recalled righty Chase Silseth from Triple-A. He hasn't pitched in the big leagues yet this season, but in 2022 pitched to a 6.59 ERA and 5.97 FIP. Silseth's been dominant in the minors, producing a 0.90 ERA with a 26.0% strikeout rate. However, fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire unless he starts to pitch in high-leverage situations.

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Austin Warren was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, the team announced on Twitter. There was no injury designation for Warren, and it's unclear just how long he'll remain out. Since making his major league debut on July 29, he's been a solid option in deeper SV/HLD formats, going 1-0 with three holds, one save, a 1.69 ERA and 1.000 WHIP over 16 innings of work. Managers who have him rostered might as well stash him on the IL for now.
