Overview

  • Cam Schlittler will make his major league debut Wednesday night against the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium.
  • His call-up follows Clarke Schmidt’s announcement that he needs season-ending Tommy John surgery.
  • Schlittler posted a combined 2.38 ERA with 64 strikeouts in 53 Double-A innings and a 3.80 ERA with 35 strikeouts in 23.2 Triple-A innings.
  • Manager Aaron Boone and pitching coach Matt Blake have described his first start as an opportunity to assess his long-term fit without promising an extended stay.
  • With Gerrit Cole sidelined for the year and Luis Gil unavailable until after the All-Star break, the Yankees are weighing internal promotions and potential external reinforcements ahead of the trade deadline.
