In his third MLB start, Yankees' right-hander Cam Schlittler lasted 4.1 innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and four walks, with five strikeouts, in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

The Yankees’ main focus has been on trying to play better, which they haven’t done consistently in a while. Since June 13, their 14-25 record is the third-worst in the game. Their bullpen had an atrocious 5.16 ERA over the span going into Monday.

NEW YORK — The Yankees traded away one of their Triple-A starters on Monday afternoon, shipping veteran Carlos Carrasco to the Braves for a player to be named later. Carrasco had been in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for much of this summer, sticking around multiple times after being designated for assignment.
