Yankees bring two intriguing pitching prospects one step closer to majors
NY Post
Yankees promotions have brought two intriguing starting pitchers closer to the majors.
The Yankees have bumped up Cam Schlittler and Carlos Lagrange one level, Schlittler rising to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Lagrange to Double-A Somerset.
Schlittler is now one step away from The Bronx after a strong 2024, a nice showing in major league spring training and excellent work with Somerset this season.
In 10 games with the Double-A club, the 6-foot-6 righty pitched to a 2.38 ERA while striking out 64 in 53 innings.
The No. 10 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline, led the system in strikeouts (154) last year and is looking like a realistic option to debut this year if a need arises.
