New York hosts Minnesota in a potential series sweep bid, with Cam Schlittler taking the mound for the Yankees against Joe Ryan, the Twins’ ace, in a game delayed by rain. Schlittler’s six-start arc mirrors a rookie script: crackling velocity, bracing escapes, and a five-inning floor. Ryan’s 2025 numbers stand out: a 2.79 ERA, elite strikeouts, and a heavy four-seamer plus a devastating sweeper. The Yankees’ order features Stanton in right, Judge at DH, and Jasson Domínguez riding a benching streak as the logjam at K/1B/8 continues. Minnesota counters with Buxton, Larnach, and Wallner atop the lineup, plus Keaschall, Roden and Rodón? Not in this game, but the Twins flex offensive depth. A rain delay shifts timing and fantasy projections, but the core matchup remains: young hurler vs. veteran ace, power versus power, and a playoff-chasing Yankees club trying to finish August strong.
