Schlittler strikes out career-high 13 in win

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Player Stats

Cam Schlittler pitched six scoreless innings while striking out 13 batters to pick up the win on Friday against the Reds.

Friday marked one of the most dominant starts in Schlittler’s young career. The righty took the Reds to task all night, striking out a career-high 13 batters without allowing a walk. Schlittler ran into a bit of trouble in the sixth inning when he found himself with runners on the corners and two outs, but he managed to get Spencer Steer to ground into a fielder’s choice to end the threat and put the cap on another impressive outing. Schlittler has allowed one earned run or fewer in each of his last three starts and saw his ERA fall to 1.71 by the time he left the mound. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Tigers.

Cam Schlittler allowed two runs with six strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Saturday.

Schlitter served up a solo homer to James Wood on his first pitch of the game. Two batters later, Curtis Mead took him deep for a second solo blast. Schlittler settled in nicely, giving up just two more hits and walking four as he pitched into the seventh. He struck out six. The 25-year-old right-hander will take a 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a 137/25 K/BB ratio across 118 2/3 innings into the All-Star break.

Cam Schlittler recorded eight strikeouts and surrendered one run over eight innings on Monday in a win over the Rays.

Schlittler put together a sublime rebound performance after getting torched for a season-high six runs, including four home runs, by the Tigers in his previous start. A run-scoring single from Richie Palacios in the fifth inning represented the lone tally against him in this one. The 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy ace reached eight punchouts for the seventh time in 19 starts and holds a sparkling 2.01 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 131/21 K/BB ratio across 112 innings. He’ll wrap up a two-start week with a road tilt against the Nationals on Saturday to close out the first half.

Cam Schlittler is one of seven first-time All-Star pitchers on the American League squad announced Saturday.

Dylan Cease, Parker Messick, Drew Rasmussen, Joe Ryan, Ranger Suarez and Michael Wacha are the other starters on the AL team. The relievers are Bryan Baker, Aroldis Chapman, Jacob Latz, Cade Smith and Louis Varland. It’s the second nod for Rasmussen, Ryan, Suarez and Wacha and the first for all of the rest other than Chapman, who will be going for the ninth time.

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler was torched for a career-high six runs over four innings on Tuesday in a loss to the Tigers.

Schlittler served up back-to-back homers to Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene before coughing up a two-run blast to Spencer Torkelson later in a disastrous 36-pitch opening frame. It was the first time he allowed multiple home runs in a start this season after giving up just six total through his first 17 starts. He served up an additional long ball to Greene in the third inning as well. The second-shortest outing of his career caused his ERA to jump from 1.62 to 2.08 in the process. The 25-year-old emerging ace has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, but this was undoubtedly a rough one. He’ll attempt to rebound during a road tilt against the division-rival Rays on Monday to kick off a two-start week.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler allowed four runs, all of which were unearned, over five innings Thursday in a loss to the Red Sox.

All of the runs came in the fifth after Amed Rosario was ruled to commit an error at third, but one wonders if that will stick; Rosario should have tried better to get in front of the grounder, but it was hit 112.8 mph off the bat of Willson Contreras and grounders that hard don’t typically get called errors. Caleb Durbin later went on to hit a two-run homer in the frame. Apart from that, Schlittler was his usual self, striking out nine in the outing. It goes as his fourth loss, but his ERA dipped to 1.62, assuming that the error stands. Schlittler will face the Tigers next.
Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

The Yankees will call up Elmer Rodríguez to face the Reds on Sunday and push Gerrit Cole back to Monday.

Jake Bird is being sent down. The Yankees are in the midst of a long stretch without a day off, so they wanted to give their starters some extra rest. Cole will now face the Tigers in Detroit, rather than the Reds at home. It also sets up Cam Schlittler to pitch Thursday in Boston, rather than Wednesday in Detroit.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler struck out seven and allowed one run over seven innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Blue Jays.

Schlittler gave up six hits and walked four batters, but still managed to limit Toronto’s lineup to just a third-inning solo homer by Kazuma Okamoto. The 25-year-old emerging ace has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 14 of his 15 starts this season. He’ll carry a favorable home outing against the Reds on Friday.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler pitched 5 2/3 innings in Sunday’s 6-1 win over the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out five.

It wasn’t Schlittler’s most dominant outing of the season, but he did more than enough to keep the Yankees in the game until they broke it open in the eighth. His strikeout-minus-walk percentage has ticked down since the end of April, though it’s nothing to be concerned about while his ERA remains under 2. He’s one of the top starters in fantasy baseball ahead of his next matchup on the road against the Blue Jays.
Will Warren

NYY Starting Pitcher #29

Saturday’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees was postponed due to rain and will made up as part of a doubleheader in Aug. 29.

But not before the Yankees got people in the gates and sold some food. Ranger Suárez and Will Warren were scheduled to start tonight’s game. Suarez will go tomorrow, with Connelly Early following on Monday, but the Yankees have decided to push Warren back to Monday against Cleveland and keep Cam Schlittler in line to face the Red Sox on four days’ rest.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler yielded a season-high five runs — four earned — in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Guardians.

Schlittler didn’t allow more than three runs in any of his previous 12 starts, but his fastball velocity was down one mph tonight and he gave up eight hard-hit balls to go along with a season-low three strikeouts. It’s probably just a blip, but it needs to be watched. He’s slated to face the Red Sox on Sunday.

Munetaka Murakami told Baseball America’s James Fegan at the MLB All-Star Game that he wants to remain with the White Sox long-term.

Murakami, who signed a two-year, $34 million contract last offseason, made some noise while speaking to Fegan prior to his first Midsummer Classic appearance by confirming his interest in staying with Chicago long-term. He added that the two sides haven’t begun the process of discussing a potential extension. The 26-year-old first baseman launched 20 homers in his first 57 games before hitting the injured list with a hamstring strain back in late May. He returned for the White Sox’ final three games before the break and looked like himself during the Home Run Derby earlier this week. He’s slated to hit free agency after the 2027 campaign.

Willson Contreras said he has no plans to waive his no-trade clause.

Contreras added while speaking to reporters at the All-Star Game in Philadelphia that he wants to finish his career in Boston. The 34-year-old first baseman put together an impressive 13-homer opening round during the Home Run Derby earlier this week and has been one of the main reasons that the Red Sox are within striking distance of a playoff spot coming out of the Midsummer Classic.

Red Sox re-signed RHP Tommy Kahnle to a minor league contract.

Kahnle returns to Boston’s relief mix after spending roughly one week on the open market. The 36-year-old veteran righty allowed eight runs over nine innings for the Red Sox after being called up back on June 4. He’ll remain stationed at Triple-A Worcester as emergency depth heading into the second half.

Yankees signed first-round pick LHP Hunter Dietz.

Dietz receives just under $2.5 million, which is just below the $2.83 million slot value for the 35th overall pick. The 21-year-old southpaw is coming off a phenomenal final collegiate season at Arkansas where he posted a stratospheric 131/31 K/BB ratio across 85 2/3 innings of work. He’s the type of high-voltage arm that could rise quickly through the minors and reach New York in a flash.

Mariners signed first-round pick SS Ace Reese.

Reese commands a healthy $3.5 million signing bonus from Seattle, which is just a shade less than the $3.8 million full-slot value for the 24th overall pick. The 21-year-old power-hitting shortstop is going to hit for plenty of pop at the highest level, but he’ll need to improve his approach and plate discipline if he’s going to be an impactful fantasy contributor. His long-term defensive home is also an open question at this stage of his development.

Braves signed first-round pick OF AJ Gracia.

Gracia receives just a shade under $3.98 million, which is considerably less than the original slot value, roughly $6.68 million for the ninth-overall pick, with Atlanta using that savings to sign third-rounder Jensen Hirschkorn to an above-slot deal. The 21-year-old projects as a corner outfielder with an above-average hit tool and over-the-fence pop after a strong collegiate career split between Virginia and Duke.

Moore is attempting to make it back to the big leagues for the first time since 2024 after signing a minor league contract with the Royals last month. The 37-year-old southpaw has looked sharp in a pair of Arizona outings and figures to head out to Triple-A Omaha after the All-Star break.

Edwin Díaz (elbow) recorded two strikeouts in a perfect inning on Tuesday in a minor league rehab appearance in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Díaz looked sharp for the second straight appearance after kicking off his rehab assignment with a pair of strikeouts in a scoreless frame for Low-A Ontario last weekend. The most encouraging sign is that he’s struck out four batters in two innings so far. The 32-year-old former elite closer is coming off surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. He’ll likely require a handful of additional rehab outings before the Dodgers are ready to bring him back later this month.

George Lombard Jr. (finger) blasted a solo homer on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Lombard homered for the second straight contest. He also walked twice and completed seven innings at shortstop as he works his way back from a pair of sprained fingers on his throwing hand. The 21-year-old top prospect suffered the injury on a defensive play at second base for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre back in mid-June. He’s put together an excellent season in the upper minors and could be in line for a late-season opportunity with the Yankees. He has the defensive chops to play in the big leagues right now.
