The New York Yankees have been slowly but surely recovering in the standings of late, picking up three straight wins with one game to go until the MLB All-Star Game. Speaking of the All-Star Game, pitcher Cam Schlittler was recently informed that he was named an All-Star for the first time in his career for his efforts this season, a deserving nod for the 25 year-old.

Unfortunately, those hoping to see the star actually participate in the big game got some tough news on Sunday morning.
" Cam Schlittler told Boone this morning he will rest and recover and has taken himself out of running to start or pitch in the ASG," reported Byron Kerr of MLB.com on X, formerly Twitter.

Schlittler is not the first, nor will he be the last player to sit out the All-Star game in order to get some more rest and recovery time, particularly at the pitcher position, where those two things are at a premium. This season, Schlittler has played a big role in helping the Yankees put together one of the best pitching staffs in the MLB, holding down the fort despite some of the injuries they've sustained in that department, including to starter Max Fried .

Meanwhile, the Yankees currently sit at 53-42 on the season, good for second place in the NL East, four games behind the Tampa Bay Rays . The Yankees have one more game remaining until the All-Star Break, on Sunday afternoon on the road against the Washington Nationals at 1:35 pm ET.
