DETROIT -- Detroit-area native DJ LeMahieu, a veteran of 15 MLB seasons, was released by the New York Yankees on Thursday. The Yankees still owe him the roughly $22 million that remains of the six-year, $90 million extension he signed after the 2020 season.

The New York Yankees have officially designated DJ LeMahieu for assignment, ending the veteran infielder’s seven-year run in the Bronx just weeks before the MLB trade deadline.

On Wednesday, the Yankees turned to their top pitching prospect, right-hander Cam Schlittler. His debut was met with ample hype. Pitching to a 2.82 ERA and 11.6 K/9 in AAA, Schlittler experienced a jump in velocity that unlocked lucrative upside and had fans clamoring for his arrival.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered twice and drove in four runs, and Cam Schlittler won his impressive major league debut as the New York Yankees beat the Seattle Mariners 9-6 on Wednesday night.

Before being promoted by the Yankees, the former Northeastern star was 2-1 in five starts at Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 3.80 ERA.

Fried and Rodon should keep the Mets bats quiet, like they have been for most of June. Paul Blackburn, Frankie Montas and an unknown spot starter will not keep you up at night. Anything the Yankees get from Marcus Stroman on Friday is a bonus.
