Cam Schlittler serves up four homers in meltdown

New York Yankees Photo Day

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Player Stats

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 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 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

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.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler limited the Royals to one run in six innings and struck out six in an easy win Tuesday.

The Yankees gave Schlittler nine runs to work with in the first three innings of what ended up being a 15-1 victory. Schlittler responded accordingly and walked no one while recording his 18 outs on just 77 pitches. He’s 7-2 with a 1.50 ERA, and he’s due to face the Guardians next.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler took the loss on Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing two earned runs on eight hits over six innings pitched.

Schlittler struck out seven and allowed two free passes, one of which was a grueling 11-pitch at-bat against Andrés Giménez that put him over 100 pitches. He loaded the bases to open the seventh before walking a runner in. That made it 1-0 and ended his night before an inherited runner scored. The 25-year-old righty has been sensational this season, and some minor regression is to be expected. He’ll carry a 1.50 ERA into a road matchup in Kansas City next time out.

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler allowed one earned run over 6 2/3 innings while striking out nine to pick up the win on Friday against the Mets.

It was business as usual for Schlittler, who struck out a season-high nine batters while allowing just three to reach base. Schlittler took a one-hit shutout into the seventh inning, but lost it on a leadoff homer by Juan Soto to give the Mets their first run on the night. Schlittler continues to be one of the most dominant arms in baseball, now boasting a 1.35 ERA and 0.78 WHIP on the season. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Blue Jays.

Royals signed RHP Scott Barlow to a minor-league contract.

Barlow carried a 6.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 33 1/3 innings with the Athletics this year. The Royals pen has been rough enough that we suppose anything is on the table eventually for Barlow, but the 33-year-old wouldn’t seem to have an easy path to a roster spot just yet.

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy said the team could activate Patrick Sandoval (elbow/biceps) if he feels good coming off his rehab start on Saturday.

After sending Early Connelly to the IL, the Red Sox won’t need a fifth starter until July 11, so this may only wind up being a one-game trial for whoever gets the elevation. Tracy said the team would choose either Sandoval or Brayan Bello. That said, the context of Sandoval nearing the end of his 30-day rehab window for players on the IL sure makes it seem like Sandoval will be the first choice if he escapes his Saturday start feeling well.

Jeffers is reportedly getting close to a rehab assignment. His return will be one to monitor even in shallow leagues, as Jeffers was hitting .295/.408/.541 before going down with the injury in late May.

Mets selected the contract of Jefry Yan from Triple-A Syracuse; optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Yan has a 3.78 ERA between two levels with the Mets this year, with an astonishing 63 strikeouts in just 33 1/3 innings. He still has no control (24 walks accompany the strikeouts) but it’s possible the Mets give him a shake in the bottom of pen mix at some point this summer.

Hunter Goodman is not in Colorado’s starting lineup against the Marlins on Thursday.

After three straight days catching, Goodman will take his first breather since June 21. Brett Sullivan is getting a start for the Rockies while Willi Castro bats cleanup. Goodman is hitting .243/.306/.547 with 27 homers in just 340 plate appearances so far this year — the double/homer distribution has been skewed in favor of homers so far this year, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Liam Hendriks threw a scoreless inning for Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, striking out two.

Hendriks made his debut for the Cubs after signing a minor league deal with them on May 13th. The 37-year-old sat 94.2 mph on his four-seam fastball and got five whiffs on eight total swings, mostly with his slider. Fastball command and velocity will be crucial for Hendriks if he wants to pitch meaningful innings in the Cubs’ bullpen.

Konnor Griffin is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Phillies

The Pirates are just being cautious with their star in his return from a forearm strain. Griffin returned last Friday and will now have sat in two of the team’s seven games since then. We would expect them to go back to playing him nearly every day after the All-Star break. On Thursday, Jared Triolo will bat ninth and play shortstop, and Jake Mangum will move into Griffin’s spot at the top of the order.
