Paul Blackburn - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Fans three as opener Blackburn took a no-decision Thursday against the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in two innings. He struck out three.

Impact Blackburn served as opener for the Yankees on Thursday in a bullpen game, serving up a solo home run to the red-hot Junior Caminero in the first inning. However, the three punchouts were a season high for the 30-year-old right-hander, who has made 29 relief appearances as opposed to a pair of brief starts this year. Blackburn hasn't offered much fantasy viability but has been an effective member of New York's pitching staff, posting a 2.31 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 35:15 K:BB over 46.2 innings.

Drawing start in bullpen game Blackburn will be the Yankees' starting pitcher in Thursday's bullpen game versus the Rays.

Impact Blackburn went 1.1 scoreless innings in Tuesday's game, so he'll be pitching on just one day of rest. The righty hasn't thrown more than 23 pitches in an outing in three weeks, so he will likely not cover more than a couple frames Thursday.

Tapped for start Thursday Blackburn will start Thursday's game against the Rangers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Ryan Weathers was scratched from his scheduled start Thursday due to an illness he suffered earlier in the week, so Blackburn will step in for a spot start. The 32-year-old righty finished the 2025 regular season with a 6.23 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 39 innings but has been much better to kick off the 2026 campaign, logging a 3.21 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 14 frames. He'll benefit from a favorable matchup Thursday against a Rangers offense that ranks 28th in MLB with 137 runs scored on the year.

Limiting runs in spring action Blackburn has posted a 1.88 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 14.1 innings spanning five appearances (including two starts) during Grapefruit League play.

Impact The WHIP and walks aren't going to excite anyone, but Blackburn has at least managed to mostly keep opponents from crossing home plate. The veteran hurler is slated for his first full season with the Yankees after joining the club in late August last year. Blackburn will likely serve in middle- and long-relief during the regular season, and his previous experience as a starter gives the Yankees insurance in case a spot start is needed along the way.
