CC Sabathia and Ahmed Fareed unpack the Cy Young races, where Jacob Misiorowski has all but clinched the NL and Cam Schlittler keeps his lead in the AL race over Dylan Cease with an interesting reliance on fastballs.

Austin Wells

NYY Catcher #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Austin Wells went 2-for-2 off the bench Wednesday, delivering a go-ahead two-run single in the 10th as the Yankees topped the Angels 6-3.

Luke Murphy nearly escaped a bases-loaded jam for a scoreless 10th, but Wells’ foul popup behind the plate with the bases loaded barely got out of play. Wells then hit a groundball single to give the Yankees the lead, and the floodgates opened from there. With his two-homer game Sunday, Wells now has nine RBI in his last five games. He totaled 19 RBI in his first 100 games.
Cam Schlittler

NYY Starting Pitcher #31

Cam Schlittler fanned nine while allowing one run and two hits over eight innings against the Angels on Wednesday.

This was quite the delight for those who like pitchers’ duels. Both Schlittler and Reid Detmers allowed one run tonight, though Schlitter went one more inning. Both threw 99 pitches, with Schlittler’s producing 71 strikes and Detmers getting 76. Combined, they had a 17/0 K/BB. Schlittler allowed eight hard-hit balls, but only Vaughn Grissom’s homer in the seventh did any damage. His ERA is back down to 2.04 after a five-start run in which he’s allowed a total of four runs. He’ll have a good chance to keep it going at home against the Rockies next week.
David Bednar

NYY Relief Pitcher #53

David Bednar picked up a seventh win after throwing a scoreless ninth in a tie game against the Angels on Wednesday.

Bednar likely would have gone back out for the 10th, but he was lifted after the Yankees scored five times in the inning. The win is Bednar’s 11th in 13 months with the Yankees. He totaled 13 in 298 appearances during his 4 1/2 years with the Pirates.
Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

Spencer Jones struck out all four times up against the Angels on Wednesday.

After homering Monday and Tuesday, Jones got the nod over Trent Grisham against lefty Reid Detmers tonight, but he ended up with his first golden sombrero as a major leaguer. He’s up to 76 strikeouts in 210 plate appearances as a major leaguer, but if anything, that 36 percent rate is probably a little better than expected; he finished at 37 percent in Double-A in 2024 and 35 percent between Double- and Triple-A last year. And he’s hitting a respectable .239/.314/.441 anyway.
George Lombard Jr.

NYY Shortstop #96

George Lombard Jr. (knee) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Angels.

This seemed inevitable with the Yankees having an off day prior to Friday’s series opener against the Padres. There’s a chance Lombard requires a trip to the injured list if he’s not ready to go in a couple days. The 21-year-old rookie has missed four straight games with right knee discomfort. It’ll be José Caballero filling in at shortstop once again.
Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

Spencer Jones went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and two walks to power the Yankees to a 7-3 win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Jones put the Yankees on the board early, taking Grayson Rodriguez deep for a two-run blast in the first inning. He later drew a walk and stole second in the sixth before walking again and scoring a run in the eighth. The 25-year-old slugger has homered in back-to-back games and is up to nine with nine steals while hitting .245/.320/.451 across 206 plate appearances.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.

NYY 2nd Baseman #13

Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 3-for-5 with a home run and two runs scored against the Angels on Tuesday.

Chisholm padded the Yankees’ lead early with a solo homer off Grayson Rodriguez, going back-to-back with Spencer Jones. He later led off the fourth with a base hit before adding a single and a run scored in the eighth. The 28-year-old second baseman is slashing .232/.331/.408 with 19 homers, 67 runs scored, 55 RBI, and 40 steals across 505 plate appearances.
Gerrit Cole

NYY Starting Pitcher #45

Gerrit Cole allowed three runs with five strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Cole tossed two scoreless innings before the Angels put a run on the board on two hits in the third. He’d settle in to pitch into the sixth, recording one out and giving up two more runs on three hits before he was replaced at 90 pitches. He struck out five. The 35-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.29 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and a 110/22 K/BB ratio across 104 innings into a start against the Rockies in New York next Tuesday.
George Lombard Jr.

NYY Shortstop #96

George Lombard Jr. (knee) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Angels.

As expected, Lombard is sitting out for the third consecutive game with right knee discomfort. It’ll be José Caballero continuing to handle shortstop in his absence. There’s a chance he winds up requiring a trip to the injured list, but the Yankees have some flexibility with expanded rosters to wait and see for a couple extra days.
Ryan McMahon

NYY 3rd Baseman #19

Yankees activated 3B Ryan McMahon from the 10-day injured list.

McMahon returns to New York’s infield mix after missing just over one week with a thumb sprain. The 31-year-old third baseman can be ignored in most fantasy leagues.
