Cam Schlittler On Track for No. 2 Spot in Yankees Rotation

After a minor mid-back inflammation delayed his spring buildup, Cam Schlittler is on track to serve as the Yankees' No. 2 starter. He threw 54 pitches over four innings in live batting practice Monday and is expected to reach 65-70 pitches for his regular-season debut. While he won't be fully built up for a standard starter's workload initially, the team may utilize a piggyback strategy. Schlittler expressed interest in future World Baseball Classic participation after sitting out this year.
