Rookie Cam Schlittler was crowned the Yankees’ fastball king, overpowering the Mariners over 5.2 innings in a 9-6 victory. The 22-year-old righthander topped out at 100-mph in his major league debut. No Yankee has thrown a triple-digit fastball since Aroldis Chapman in 2022.

The move came a day after manager Aaron Boone announced that LeMahieu would move from New York's starting second baseman to a bench role. Boone said LeMahieu did not take the demotion well but emphasized that LeMahieu didn't ask for his release.

The New York Yankees are moving on from DJ LeMahieu after nearly seven years with the team. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Yankees have designated LeMahieu for assignment with $22 million left on his contract.
