Yankees News

The New York Yankees' recent struggles reached a new low with a 6-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins, marking their first home series defeat to Minnesota in 12 years. This latest setback adds to a dismal stretch, as the team now sits at 1-6 over the past week, a far cry from their 46-28 peak just a few weeks ago. On the pitching side, Cam Schlittler has emerged as a rare bright spot, sporting a 2.08 ERA and leading AL pitchers in WAR, but even his efforts can’t mask the overall team failures. With injuries piling up, including the troubling capsular sprain sidelining prospect Carlos Lagrange, the clock is ticking toward the trade deadline, forcing the Yankees to seek reinforcements, particularly in high-leverage relief and a right-handed hitting catcher.

Schlittler looks to get Yanks back on track to start crucial series vs. Rays

NEW YORK -- Right-hander Cam Schlittler has yet to play a full season in the Major Leagues. Yet, he is already the man in the Yankees’ rotation and has the stats to back it up. Entering this week, Schlittler led AL pitchers in WAR per Baseball Reference (3.6), ERA (2.08)

They have an awful 3-12 record since peaking at 46-28 on June 19th. The team they’ve dominated for the better part of this century also won its first series at Yankee Stadium since 2014, […]
