Yankees Get Injury Update
UPDATE: The official update came from MLB.com (on June 30): “Continuing to log bullpen sessions. Expected to begin facing hitters in July.”
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.
