Yankees reveal new injury after lifeless loss to Twins
NEW YORK — Yankees manager Aaron Boone didn't use Paul Goldschmidt as a pinch hitter off the bench in Wednesday's loss to the Twins because the first baseman is hurt. Goldschmidt suffered a low-grade right knee sprain on Tuesday night. It's unclear as of late Wednesday night if Goldschmidt will go on the injured list, but according to Boone, it's on the table. 'It could be an IL, could be a day to day,' Boone said. 'We'll kind of see here, over the next 24 hours, which way we'll go with it.' The Yankees will make a decision at some point on Thursday — an off day for the Yankees — as they prepare for a weekend series against the Cardinals in St. Louis. 'I don't think it's anything long term,' Goldschmidt said. 'I think that's good when talking about any injury, especially a knee or something like that, that's hurting. So I think that's the really positive thing.' The injury occurred while Goldschmidt was catching in a pop fly in foul territory in the third inning on Tuesday night. Goldschmidt overran it heading toward the Yankees' dugout, falling to the dirt on the warning track as he lurched back toward first base to make the grab. Goldschmidt stayed in the game until J.C. Escarra replaced him on defense in the top of the eighth. 'As I was going back to my position, I was like, 'That kind of hurt,'' Goldschmidt said, 'but stuff like that happens. So just felt like I could continue to play, which I did, and it was fine. I had it checked out today, and hopefully we'll be good to go.' There's a good chance Goldschmidt's injury would've stayed under the radar if the Yankees didn't have a pinch-hit opportunity come up on Wednesday. Trailing by three runs in the seventh, with shortstop Anthony Volpe on third base and a left-handed reliever entering from the bullpen, Boone stuck with catcher Austin Wells. He struck out looking, stranding Volpe on third. That's a spot where Boone would typically go to Goldschmidt, who has been mashing left-handed pitching all season. Outfielder Cody Bellinger, who accounted for the Yankees' only run on offense in Wednesday's loss with a solo home run off Twins ace Joe Ryan, said it would be a tough blow if Goldschmidt ends up missing time. 'He's been a huge part of this team,' Bellinger said. 'He's a vacuum over there at first base as well. I've played first before and I really appreciate what he does on the defensive side.' If Goldschmidt does need to go on the injured list, the Yankees have a few players on the 40-man roster they could call up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill his spot without any additional corresponding moves. Infielders Jorbit Vivas and Braden Shewmake fit that description. Jasson Domínguez and Escarra would be the winners if Goldschmidt does go on the IL. Domínguez could factor into the playing time picture again. He's been the odd man out since Giancarlo Stanton started playing right field this past weekend, a product of Aaron Judge's right elbow injury that has kept the slugger in a DH-only role. Either the Yankees would move Bellinger over to first base and open up left field for Domínguez or they can keep Ben Rice at first with Wells behind the plate. Escarra, meanwhile, would be able to stick around with the big-league club when Amed Rosario — who is on the injured list for the minimum 10 days with a chest contusion — returns in short order. Otherwise, if Goldschmidt doesn't get moved to the IL, Escarra would be the first choice to head back to Triple-A to make space for Rosario.

Cam Schlittler's early hook backfires on Aaron Boone, Yankees
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Cam Schlittler was laboring a bit, but certainly still looked sharp. Still, manager Aaron Boone yanked the rookie starter after five innings and just 86 pitches. Advertisement It immediately backfired in the Yankees' 4-1 loss to the Twins Wednesday night in The Bronx. Schlittler allowed one run on two hits and two walks with six strikeouts. But with the game tied at 1-1, it was reliever Yerry De los Santos who came out for the sixth inning. Advertisement He promptly gave up two straight singles to start the inning — to Byron Buxton and Luke Keaschall — followed by a two-run double to Kody Clemens as the Yankees fell behind 3-1. De los Santos was pulled without recording an out. He was replaced by Mark Leiter Jr., who, later in the inning, gave up an RBI double to Royce Lewis that extended the Twins' lead to 4-1. 'It was like 52 [pitches] over the fourth and fifth inning,' Boone said. 'Just coming through a tough part of the lineup, Buxton, the time prior, had seen a ton of pitches before hitting a double against him. I just felt like, it was 86 [pitches], but over 50 those last two innings, so it's like how much more are you gonna get out of him? It felt like he really had to grind through the fourth and the fifth there. He set us up. Going into an off-day and with a rested-up [bullpen], felt like we could get there.' Cam Schlittler, who held Minnesota to one run, walks off the mound after getting out of the fifth inning on Aug. 13, 2025. Robert Sabo / New York Post Advertisement Schlittler's pitch count was at just 34 through three innings, but he threw 29 pitches in the fourth and 23 in the fifth. He wasn't giving up hard contact, however, and had retired four of his last five batters. Entering Wednesday, Schlittler averaged 88 pitches in his five starts this year. He reached or surpassed 90 pitches in three of those starts. Advertisement Cam Schlittler throws a pitch during the Yankees' loss to the Twins. Robert Sabo / New York Post 'I felt good,' Schlittler said. 'I'm a rookie, so you got to earn that. It's gonna take time and consistency. No issue with the decision and I trust the bullpen. 'You have [86] pitches after five [innings], Buxton's coming up, two-three-four [hitters], I just feel like, as a rookie, you gotta earn that.' The Yankees have placed significant trust in Schlittler. When Luis Gil's return from the injured list necessitated a rotation decision, the Yankees opted to cut veteran Marcus Stroman rather than move Schlittler to the bullpen or send him down to Triple-A. And though they revamped their bullpen, the Yankees did not make a move for a starter ahead of the trade deadline. With Wednesday's start, Schlittler lowered his season ERA to 3.94.
