Yankees reinstate Adam Warren, option Tommy Kahnle to AAA

By -


Following the Yankees 7-4 win in the first game of today’s double header, they reinstated RHP Adam Warren from the 10-Day DL, and optioned RHP Tommy Kahnle to AAA.

This move comes as a surprise, seeing as Kahnle served as a very vital pitcher to the Yanks late last season. However, he struggled at the beginning of this season, pitching to a 6.14 ERA in 7.1 innings. Kahnle’s velocity has also been down this season, and since he has only pitched twice since his activation off the DL, the move to the minors could just be an effort to get him pitching more regularly. No matter the reason, Kahnle will be back in pinstripes soon enough.

Warren, on the other hand, has not pitched since April 20, and is a welcome addition to the Yankees’ bullpen. He has also had his struggles this year though, and even though he has a 3.24 ERA in 8.1 innings, he allowed ten hits and walked four. However, for a team with as unpredictable starting pitching as the Yankees, adding another reliever who can pitch multiple innings is only an addition that will benefit the team in the future.

Being trapped inside for the last two days due to the snowstorm that pounded the entire eastern seaboard has only enhanced my desire for the return of baseball season. Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
