Pitching prospect Cam Schlittler started on Wednesday night and earned the win, flashing his 99-mph heater over 5 1/3 strong innings. The right-hander was bit by the home run ball twice — he gave up three earned runs on four hits with two walks — but he racked up seven strikeouts, exiting in the sixth inning to a standing ovation.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and drove in four runs, and Cam Schlittler won his impressive major league debut as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6 on Wednesday night.

Originally a seventh-round pick out of Northeastern in 2022, Schlittler made significant strides this season. He pitched to a 2.82 ERA with 99 strikeouts in 76.2 innings over 15 minor-league appearances, the final five of which came at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

NEW YORK — Both Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone called the move to designate DJ LeMahieu for assignment on Wednesday a “tough” decision. LeMahieu had been in pinstripes since 2019, a well-respected and hard-working figure in the Yankees’ clubhouse.

A few weeks ago, the Cleveland Guardians looked like they could be buyers at the MLB trade deadline. However, a. 10-game losing streak has flipped the script on Cleveland's season, and the organization would be wise to trade off some of their valuable pieces in what looks to be a seller's market.

With the MLB trade deadline just weeks away, the New York Yankees’ lengthy search for a much-needed, yet elusive, third baseman should be coming to a close.
