Yankees News

The Yankees' struggles continue to mount as they succumbed to the Blue Jays 1-3, marking the fourth straight loss when Cam Schlittler takes the mound, despite his seven-inning gem. The offense is a broken record, repeatedly failing to capitalize on strong pitching, which has been the case for Schlittler's recent outings. With Aaron Judge inching closer to a return, having played catch for the first time in his rehab, the hope is that his presence can ignite a moribund lineup that averaged just 3.4 runs per game over the last week. Meanwhile, the Yankees took a flyer on reliever Justin Topa, filling a Triple-A spot vacated by an injured Angel Chivilli, but this minor move pales in comparison to the urgent need for major offensive reinforcements.

Outdone by the Jays bullpen, Yankees relive painful memory

Held quietly by the Jays in a bullpen game, the Yankees lost their fourth straight Schlittler start. […]

New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays: Cam Schlittler vs. Braydon Fisher

Low-scoring affairs have dominated the scoresheet in recent Yankee games, and with Cam Schlittler on the mound, we might very well be in line for another one.
