Yankees Rookie Cam Schlittler Becomes Key Rotation Piece Amidst Injuries

Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler, 24, has emerged as an unexpected but vital part of the New York Yankees' starting rotation following significant injuries to Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, and the release of Marcus Stroman. Despite having only a handful of major-league starts, Schlittler's high-90s fastball makes him a crucial character for the Yankees as they contend for a playoff spot. His continued performance in each outing will play a major role in the club's outlook for October.
