NFL preseason grades for Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren following debuts
The first batch of preseason games in the NFL are in the books, which means a few former Penn State players finally got their first little taste of the speed of the NFL. Among the rookies in action during the first week of the NFL's preseason was Abdul Carter, the third overall pick of the New York Giants. Carter put together a solid showing in his first preseason experience and received a very positive grade from the NFL community. Carter was one of four first-round draft picks to receive an A+ grade on their NFL preseason debuts from CBS Sports. Carter was credited with three pressures in his debut against the Buffalo Bills. Considering the rookie was going up against a Pro Bowl player, Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins, that is a great first impression to leave on those watching and a promising sign of things to come. Yes, it was just a small sample size, but Carter will have high expectations of him given he was the third overall pick in the draft. The Giants are hoping the former Nittany Lion standout develops into one of the great all-time defensive players in Giants history, and there are some great names in franchise history he may one day join in the upper ranks of the franchise. The good news for the Giants is first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart also received an A+ grade. Not bad for the Giants, it would seem. Penn State's other first-round draft pick, tight end Tyler Warren, also received a solid grade from his preseason debut. Warren was given a B+ grade from CBS Sports. Warren caught three passes for 40 yards for the Colts in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Carter and the Giants will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 16, against the New York Jets. Warren and the Colts will face the Green Bay Packers on the same day.

Will Warren delivers ace-like gem when Yankees needed it most
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free It was the type of start the Yankees had been missing for nearly two weeks. Max Fried couldn't deliver any length Sunday. Luis Gil, Carlos Rodón and Cam Schlittler all came close but couldn't finish six innings during their most recent outings, either. So, there was Will Warren, at 26 years old and in his first full MLB season, saving the bullpen and powering the Yankees with an ace-like gem. He didn't allow a hit until the third inning. Retired 17 of the first 18 batters he faced. Exited after an efficient 6 ²/₃ innings with just 85 pitches thrown, two solo homers surrendered and zero walks issued, becoming the first Yankees starter to record at least 18 outs since July 30. 3 New York Yankees pitcher Will Warren #98, pitching in the 1st inning. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post If there were ever any doubt about whether Warren belonged in the Yankees rotation long term this season, ever any concern about whether they'd acquire an arm at the deadline who'd unseat his spot in the rotation, his past four starts — with a 1.93 ERA — have quieted any of that by featuring a consistency the rest of the rotation has lacked. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'I think he's gained a lot of confidence from what he's been through last year, getting a taste of it up here, coming up this year, taking his lumps at times but also having a lot of success,' manager Aaron Boone said. 'I think he realizes he can get really good hitters out with his stuff, and he has that expectation now.' 3 Will Warren #98 of the New York Yankees is pulled from the game by Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees during the 7th inning. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Even when Warren fell behind 3-0 on three occasions, he recovered to get each of those Minnesota hitters out. He blended his four-seam fastball with his sinker and off-speed pitches to keep hitters off balance, striking out four in a row at one point and five of his first six batters. He allowed solo homers to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, with Larnach ending his outing on a sour note after recording the first two outs in the seventh. But after walking four batters in five starts this season, Warren avoided allowing any. Monday marked the first time in his career he went six or more innings and allowed three or fewer hits. 'I think as a starting rotation in general, I think we take pride in getting — we want to get six or more every time,' Warren said. 'Lately, it hadn't been the case.' 3 Yankees pitcher Will Warren (98) reacts to giving up a home run to Minnesota Twins Byron Buxton in the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium, Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, in Bronx, NY.

He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 19 of his 25 starts this season. He became just the fifth Yankees rookie since 1974 to start 25 games, per the team. And perhaps most importantly, he erased any questions about his place in the rotation. Instead, in the moment, he has become one of their most indispensable arms.

Warren pitches 6 2/3 innings to lead the Yankees to 6-2 win over the Twins
NEW YORK (AP) — Will Warren gave up three hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings to become the first New York Yankees starting pitcher to get an out in the seventh inning in a month in a 6-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. Warren (7-5), who allowed homers to Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach, struck out seven and walked none before Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished off New York's 23rd win in its last 30 regular-season meetings with Minnesota. It was the first time the Yankees won a series opener since the All-Star break. The last Yankees pitcher to get an out in the seventh was Carlos Rodón, who pitched eight innings July 11 against the Chicago Cubs. Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice homered against Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews (3-4). Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in the eighth after Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge hit RBI singles in the seventh. Warren took a shutout into the fifth until Buxton homered. He was one strike away from finishing the seventh until Larnach homered. Bellinger ended a 12-game homerless drought in the first. Stanton and Rice homered in the third, marking the eighth time the Yankees hit back-to-back homers this year. Matthews allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out nine and tied a career high by allowing three homers. Key moment Matthews got the first two outs of the third before Stanton hit his fastball into the Yankee bullpen in right-center and Rice hit a slider to right field. Key stats The Yankees are 10-3 when homering at least four times this year. Stanton hit his 10th homer in his last 25 games and his first when playing the field since Aug. 3, 2023 against Houston. Up next Rodón (11-7, 3.35 ERA) starts for the Yankees on Tuesday night. The Twins are expected to use a bullpen game. ___
