Adam Warren is scheduled to make his first Major League start for the New York Yankees on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Warren will fill in for Yankee ace C.C. Sabathia, who was placed on the 15 day disabled list earlier this week. Warren becomes the 16th Tar Heel to make a start in the MLB since Mike Fox has took over as manager in Chapel Hill. Warren was a fourth round draft pick of the Yankees in 2009 and he has a record of 5-5 with an ERA of 3.86 and 59 strikeouts with the Triple A team Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. If Warren performs well this could turn into more than a temporary call up as the Yankees also lost Andy Pettitte this week for six weeks due to an ankle injury. Warren's first game will not be easy as the White Sox rank in the top 8 in runs scored and home runs. The game will be shown on the Yes Network Friday at 7:05 EST.
