The New York Yankees announced changes to their pitching rotation ahead of the weekend series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Cam Schlittler will start on Friday, while Will Warren has been pushed back to Sunday. This adjustment comes after Warren's relief appearance during a doubleheader and the return of Max Fried to the rotation. With Carlos Rodón also on the mend, Warren’s position may be at risk. Meanwhile, the Yankees are also reportedly looking to improve their performance behind the plate as the trade deadline approaches.
