Yankees' Clarke Schmidt dealing with shoulder soreness, scratched from Monday's spring start
As if the Yankees needed more tough news, manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that pitcher Clarke Schmidt is dealing with shoulder soreness and will not start Monday's spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Instead, Schmidt will throw a bullpen session.
Boone added that Schmidt was "not getting all the way back to how he normally would," he told MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, following his outing on March 11 against the Baltimore Orioles. The manager noted that no tests have been scheduled.
That has been the right-hander's only start so far this spring, as he allowed three runs on four hits with four strikeouts over just 1.2 IP.
Schmidt went 5-5 with a 2.85 ERA over 16 starts during the 2024 season, missing all of June, July, and August due to a right lat strain.
Hopefully Schmidt can overcome the soreness and avoid missing time, as New York has already lost ace Gerrit Cole for the season with Tommy John surgery, including an internal brace, and Luis Giluntil at least June due to a serious lat injury. Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, and Marcus Stroman remain the team's healthy starters, with Will Warren, Allan Winans, and Carlos Carrasco competing for a starting spot.
