When Oakland's bats finally heated up, Warren began suffering control issues. He was moved into the bullpen, and eventually optioned back to Tacoma in June with a 3-6 record and 5.09 ERA.[5] He returned to the team briefly in July and again when rosters expanded that September.
His record stood at 1-4 with a 7.92 ERA in 1985 when he was relegated to "mop up duty" by manager Jackie Moore. He was shipped to Tacoma to make room on the major league roster when the A's signed Tommy John. He signed a minor league contract with the Kansas City Royals in 1986, but never returned to the majors.
