Blue Jays manager reveals he was snubbing Cam Schlitter before surprise All-Star Game decision

WASHINGTON — Before John Schneider could snub Cam Schlittler for an All-Star start, the Yankees ace took himself out of the running. After thinking for weeks that he would pitch in the All-Star Game on Tuesday — and potentially even start it, before Schneider, managing the AL team, decided to go with his own pitcher in Dylan Cease — Schlittler walked into Aaron Boone’s office on Sunday morning and informed him that he had decided he wanted to pass. “The staff’s had a lot of injuries this year, so between Gerrit [Cole] and Max [Fried] and now Carlos [Rodón], don’t want to put that risk in there of letting the team down,” Schlittler said after a 5-3 win at Nationals Park.
