Ex-Met Jeff McNeil<\/a> then roped a single to right field before Denzel Clarke moved the runners to second and third on a sacrifice bunt with two strikes.<\/p>\nSchlittler then left a fastball over the plate to Nick Kurtz, who smoked it for a double to the gap to drive in both runs for the 2-1 lead. One out later, Tyler Soderstrom added on with a double of his own down the right field line to make it 3-1.<\/p>\n

Cam Schlittler allowed three runs in five innings and received a no decision in the Yankees\u2019 5-3 comeback win over the A\u2019s on April 7, 2026 at the Stadium. Jason Szenes \/ New York Post<\/p>\n
\u201cNot quite as dominant as his first two [starts], obviously,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cYou kind of think he\u2019s just going to roll out there for seven innings and 75 pitches and strike everyone out. You realize it\u2019s not that easy. He had some longer at-bats tonight where he just wasn\u2019t quite as sharp with his command.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schlittler, who still has yet to walk a batter this season, struck out seven while throwing 84 pitches as he continued to finish off his buildup after a back issue delayed him briefly in the spring.<\/p>\n
Jazz Chisholm Jr. twisted his left ankle when his cleat got caught as he flew out to center field in the eighth inning. <\/p>\n

The second baseman was hobbling a bit and a little sore, but remained in the game for the top of the ninth.<\/p>\n
Gerrit Cole threw live batting practice Monday, and if everything goes well in his recovery this week, he is scheduled to pitch again Sunday as he continues his rehab from Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see if that\u2019s a live or a game setting, I\u2019m not sure yet,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n
Boone did not know whether that \u201cgame setting\u201d could potentially mean the start of a rehab assignment. <\/p>\n
Throughout his comeback, Cole has stuck to a 14- to 18-month timeline for a return, meaning mid-May is the earliest he would be back on a big league mound. <\/p>\n
Pitchers get a 30-day clock on a rehab assignment, though that can also be extended for those coming back from Tommy John.<\/p>\n
Through the first 10 games, Rule 5 pick Cade Winquest has yet to appear. <\/p>\n
He warmed up in the top of the eighth Tuesday, when the Yankees trailed 3-1 but never got in after they rallied, still waiting to make his MLB debut.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a couple games that he\u2019s almost been in,\u201d Boone said. \u201cWith the off-days, for the most part, we\u2019ve been dealing on most days with a fairly full pen, with the exception of a couple days where we\u2019ve been real short. Situation\u2019s got to present itself, though. \u2026 He\u2019s ready to go when that opportunity comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
