Confusion for Cam Schlittler
It's not certain he'll start Game 1 of the series.
Is Cam Schlittler starting Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series? Aaron Boone: “We'll see. Not necessarily.”

Clarke Schmidt, meanwhile, is heading to the injured list.
The earliest Schmidt can be activated is Oct. 6, which rules him out of the ALWC series and the ALDS as well. https://t.co/Oc8FcZ8z6s
