Austin Scott Warner (born June 27, 1994) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.

Warner was born and grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, where he attended Trinity High School. He played college baseball at NCAA Division II Bellarmine University. Over the course of his collegiate career, Warner went 15-12 with a 3.37 ERA and 211 strikeouts in 227.1 innings pitched.[150]

Warner was undrafted in the 2016 MLB draft and signed with the River City Rascals of the independent Frontier League.[151] He pitched for the Rascals into the 2017 season before his contract was purchased by the St. Louis Cardinals on June 15, 2017. Warner went 6-1 with a 4.01 ERA over 16 appearances, 12 of which were starts, during his time with River City.[152]

After signing Warner was assigned to the Gulf Coast League Cardinals and was briefly elevated to the Class A-Advanced Palm Beach Cardinals due to a shortage of relief pitchers, pitching three scoreless innings and earning a win in relief in his only appearance. He was later promoted to the Class A Peoria Chiefs of the Midwest League.[153] Warner began the 2018 season in the Florida State League with Palm Beach before earning a promotion to the Double-A Springfield Cardinals after 12 starts with a 3-3 record and a 3.41 ERA.[154] Warner was promoted a second time to the Memphis Redbirds of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League.[155] He returned to Springfield in 2019 and was named a Texas League All-Star before being promoted to Memphis for the rest of the 2019 season.[156] Warner did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but was later assigned to the Cardinals' Alternate Training Site.[155] To begin the 2021 season, he returned to Memphis.[35]

J. Bleday.[174]

On October 6, 2021, the Cardinals selected Yepez's contract and added him to the 26-man roster for the 2021 National League Wild Card Game, but he did not make an appearance.[175]
