The post Yankees announce pitching move before final Rays game appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New York Yankees are firmly in the mix of the playoff race as they are in second place in the AL East. On Wednesday, before the start of the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays, the club made a roster move to add depth to the bullpen.

Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler was the Yankees' starter against the Rays on Wednesday night at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

A club that was 9.5 games behind the Yankees at the time of their first meeting was just one game back Wednesday (pending the outcome of the Yankees’ game at the Rays).

Yankees roster flaws exposed as Giancarlo Stanton misses another game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Yankees moved several pitching prospects at the trade deadline last month, but still have depth in the farm system at the position.

The club said it did its due diligence when deciding to select Core Jackson, and that the choice was cleared with owner Hal Steinbrenner.

The Yankees drafted shortstop Core Jackson, who admitted he drew a swastika on a Jewish student's door while at the University of Nebraska in 2021.

According to a post made by the team on X, the social media platform previously known as Twitter, the Yankees are the first team in MLB history to record two games in one season with nine home runs. The first game, which occurred at the beginning of the season against the Milwaukee Brewers, ended in the Pinstripes' favor with a whopping 20-9 score.

The New York Yankees will have one of their key relievers enter free agency after the season ends. Could he sign with a rival?

Giancarlo Stanton hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the top of the 10th inning to lift the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
