Clarke Schmidt lands on IL following forearm tightness in major Yankees concern
NY Post
As expected, Clarke Schmidt landed on the injured list Friday.
How long he stays on it is the question that only an MRI will begin to answer, as Schmidt headed for tests on his tight right forearm/elbow after leaving Thursday’s start early in a concerning development.
The Yankees were still not ready to divulge the results of the MRI after Friday’s 6-5 loss to the Mets at Citi Field, but they at least know they will be without Schmidt into the All-Star break.
Instead of using Monday’s off day to skip Schmidt’s turn in the rotation into the break, Aaron Boone indicated the Yankees likely will call up a fifth starter next week.
With Luis Gil (lat strain) likely still at least a month away from returning from his own IL stint and Ryan Yarbrough (oblique strain) still yet to resume throwing since landing on the IL on June 22, the Yankees’ options are slim.
They could go with retreads Allan Winans or Carlos Carrasco or get aggressive and call up prospect Cam Schlittler, though he was only just promoted to Triple-A last month and is not yet on the 40-man roster.
