New York Yankees right-hander Cam Schlittler will attend but not pitch in Tuesday's All-Star Game, manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday. The decision comes on what would be Schlittler's normal recovery day following Saturday's start against the Washington Nationals.

Schlittler enters the break with a 9-5 record and an American League-leading 2.05 ERA. Boone said the pitcher has no physical issues but expressed apprehension about overthrowing during the midseason showcase. "Just feels like, on his recovery day, to go back out there throwing 100 miles an hour is something that he felt a little apprehensive about," Boone said.

The Yankees fully support the cautious approach as they prioritize the second half. Schlittler's next start is expected next week against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a critical series for New York's playoff positioning. By preserving his regular routine, the team protects its most effective starter for the stretch run.
