MLB.com | Nathan Maciborski<\/a>: With young starter Cam Schlittler taking the mound on Sunday for the Yankees, MLB.com posted an article from this month\u2019s Yankees Magazine featuring the right-hander, who has emerged as one of the game\u2019s best young starters since making his debut last summer. While Schlittler\u2019s Massachusetts upbringing and larger-than-life personality have been the subject of much discussion since last October\u2019s Game 3 victory over the Red Sox in the Wild Card series, Maciborski\u2019s profile focuses on the story of the offseason and Schlittler\u2019s reaction to being thrust into the limelight.<\/p>\n

New York Post | Greg Joyce<\/a>: 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 \u201ckeep\u2026it on plane for a lot longer,\u201d all in the hopes of recovering some of the offensive pop that made him one of the league\u2019s top prospects before he made his Major League debut in 2023.<\/p>\n

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch<\/a>: Speaking to reporters after yesterday\u2019s game, Yankees captain\/superman Aaron Judge reiterated a belief that the lineup is currently pressing, with Bryan Hoch summarizing his comments by saying that \u201c[Judge] sees each spot occupied by someone trying to be a hero.\u201d It\u2019s a cliche, of course, but it\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

FOX Sports<\/a>: The big story in the Yankees Universe the last few days has, of course, been the team\u2019s five-game losing streak that erased most of the good will of the team\u2019s 8-2 start to the season. One person who isn\u2019t overly concerned, however, is former Marlins left-hander Dontrelle Willis. Ranking his top five teams in baseball right now, he places the Yankees second behind only the Los Angeles Dodgers, remains high on a rotation that has looked like the league\u2019s best and believes that the offense will come around in time.<\/p>\n

MLB.com | Daniel Kramer<\/a>: Over the weekend, the Seattle Mariners unveiled a statue of Hall of Fame outfielder Ichiro Suzuki outside their stadium \u2014 an honor that quickly turned into a disaster as the statue\u2019s bat broke during its unveiling. How, then, might this be considered Yankees news, because even though Ichiro did play for the Yankees, this is a Mariners statue, not a Yankees one? Well, taking the broken bat in stride, Ichiro decided to make a joke, saying, \u201cI didn\u2019t think Mariano would come out here and break the bat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB.com | Nathan Maciborski: With young starter Cam Schlittler taking the mound on Sunday for the Yankees, MLB.com…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604031,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[6097,11000,64,63,7305,8100,1187,54245,591,2274,16088,5162,85,6114],"class_list":{"0":"post-604030","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-aaron-judge","9":"tag-anthony-volpe","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-cam-schlittler","13":"tag-ichiro-suzuki","14":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","15":"tag-major-league-debut","16":"tag-mlb","17":"tag-rays","18":"tag-red-sox","19":"tag-seattle-mariners","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-yankees"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
