Yankees Get Injury Update

Ahead of Monday’s game, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reported the latest on a lot of their injured players.

One of those players she mentioned was Clarke Schmidt.

He has yet to appear in a game this season.

Marakovits: “Clarke Schmidt will throw a live session on Wednesday. That’ll be the first time he is facing batters since undergoing Tommy John surgery, so that’s a significant step in his rehab process.”

Schmidt is coming off a season where he went 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 games.

Looking At Schmidt

Schmidt was the 16th pick in the 2017 MLB Draft out of South Carolina.

The 30-year-old has spent all six seasons of his MLB career with the Yankees.

Over 97 career games, Schmidt has gone 23-24 with a 3.82 ERA.

There is no question that he would be an excellent addition to the team when he returns.

According to MLB.com, Schmidt could come back in August.
