The San Diego Padres have signed right-hander\u00a0Adam Warren\u00a0to a one-year contract with a club option for the 2020 season, executive vice president\/general manager A.J. Preller announced on March 1. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Padres placed left-hander Jos\u00e9 Castillo on the 60-day Injured List (left flexor strain).
\nIn 47 relief appearances between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners last season, Warren went 3-2 with a 3.14 ERA (18 ER, 51.2 IP), 1.32 WHIP and 9.06 SO\/9.0 IP ratio (52 strikeouts). Over the first three months of the season, Warren had the sixth-lowest ERA among all American League relievers (1.35, 3 ER, 20.0 IP). The 31-year-old posted a 4.08 ERA (8 ER, 17.2 IP) in 13 games at Yankee Stadium, as opposed to a 2.64 ERA (10 ER, 34.0 IP) at all other Major League ballparks in 2018 (34 games).\u00a0
\nOver parts of seven Major League seasons, Warren is 26-23 with six saves and a 3.42 ERA (176 ER, 463.2 IP), 1.22 WHIP, 0.91 HR\/9.0 IP ratio and .235 opponents average in 298 games (21 starts). Since 2014, he has the third-most scoreless relief appearances of at least 1.1 innings among all Major League pitchers (68).\u00a0 Warren was originally selected by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of North Carolina, where he posted the second-most wins in school history (32) and helped lead the Tar Heels to the College World Series in three consecutive seasons (2006-08).
