Yankees‑White Sox MLB series

Entities: Chicago White Sox · New York Yankees · Aaron Judge · Max Fried · Cam Schlittler

Overview

The New York Yankees opened a four‑game road series in Chicago with right‑hander Max Fried starting against 22‑year‑old Noah Schultz. The Yankees were without several key hitters—Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger—due to injuries, limiting their offensive firepower. The White Sox were within striking distance of the AL Central lead and looked to capitalize on Schultz’s low opponent batting average despite his overall struggles.

Two days later, the Yankees returned to the mound with right‑hander Cam Schlittler, who had posted a 10‑6 record and a 2.07 ERA. Chicago countered with right‑hander Davis Martin (9‑5, 3.49 ERA). By then the Yankees had won two straight games and seven of their last ten, including a 3‑2 victory highlighted by Gerrit Cole’s six shutout innings, while the White Sox tried to stave off a series sweep.

On July 29, 2026 the clubs met again at Chicago’s Rate Field in a pivotal AL East showdown. New York entered with a 61‑46 record, 1.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays, while Chicago sat 55‑51 atop the AL Central. Schlittler was again slated to start for the Yankees, carrying a 2.07 ERA and 157 strikeouts, and Martin returned for the White Sox with a 3.49 ERA and 100 strikeouts. The Yankees’ lineup featured Ben Rice (DH), Jasson Domínguez (RF), Paul Goldschmidt (1B), Spencer Jones (LF) and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (2B); the White Sox fielded Andrew Benintendi (DH), Sam Antonacci (LF), Munetaka Murakami (1B) and Miguel Vargas (3B), aiming to avoid a series loss while the AL East race tightened.
