Yahoo Sports

The Yankees Magazine profiles Cam Schlittler; Dontrelle Willis unfazed by Yankees’ struggles; Ichiro cracks a joke

MLB. com | Nathan Maciborski : With young starter Cam Schlittler taking the mound on Sunday for the Yankees, MLB. com posted an article from this month’s Yankees Magazine featuring the right-hander, who has emerged as one of the game’s best young starters since making his debut last summer.

While Schlittler’s Massachusetts upbringing and larger-than-life personality have been the subject of much discussion since last October’s Game 3 victory over the Red Sox in the Wild Card series, Maciborski’s profile focuses on the story of the offseason and Schlittler’s reaction to being thrust into the limelight. New York Post | Greg Joyce : Shortstop Anthony Volpe, who has been on the injured list to start the season after undergoing elbow surgery last fall, will be meeting with team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad later today.

If all goes well, he may begin a rehab assignment as soon as tomorrow, in which he will test out changes to his swing designed to “keep…it on plane for a lot longer,” all in the hopes of recovering some of the offensive pop that made him one of the league’s top prospects before he made his Major League debut in 2023. MLB. com | Bryan Hoch : Speaking to reporters after yesterday’s game, Yankees captain/superman Aaron Judge reiterated a belief that the lineup is currently pressing, with Bryan Hoch summarizing his comments by saying that “[Judge] sees each spot occupied by someone trying to be a hero.

” It’s a cliche, of course, but it’s hard to disagree with the sentiment when the Yankees struggled to generate traffic on the basepaths all weekend, as they suffered their first three-game sweep at the hands of the Rays since 2021. FOX Sports : The big story in the Yankees Universe the last few days has, of course, been the team’s five-game losing streak that erased most of the good will of the team’s 8-2 start to the season. One person who isn’t overly concerned, however, is former Marlins left-hander Dontrelle Willis.
