Cam Schlittler Nears Return to Facing Hitters After Back Issue

New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler (back) is progressing well and is close to facing hitters after recovering from a mid-back issue that slowed him early in camp. Following a successful bullpen session on Tuesday, he is scheduled for one more before advancing to face hitters. A Grapefruit League appearance is expected shortly thereafter for Schlittler, who secured a rotation spot with a 2.96 ERA and 84:31 K:BB over 73 innings in 2025.
