New York Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler will not take the mound in Tuesday’s All-Star Game, manager Aaron Boone confirmed on Sunday.
Boone shared with reporters that the right-hander — who is not dealing with any injury — expressed concern about throwing on what would be his scheduled rest day, and that his focus is on being fresh for the second half of the baseball season.
Schlittler’s most recent outing came just a day earlier on Saturday, when he delivered 6 2/3 strong innings in New York’s 4-2 win against the Washington Nationals.
The 25-year-old has put together an impressive 2025 campaign, going 9-5 with a 2.05 ERA across 20 starts — the best earned run average among American League pitchers. His 137 strikeouts rank second in the AL, just behind Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease.
Through 118 2/3 innings pitched this season, Schlittler is on track to surpass his personal best of 149 2/3 innings, which he accumulated last year split between the Yankees, Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and Double-A Somerset.
