Clarke Schmidt primed to rejoin Yankees after final rehab start
NY Post
DETROIT — Help is on the way for the Yankees rotation, one arm much sooner than the other.
Clarke Schmidt is set to make his final rehab start on Thursday with Double-A Somerset, and if that goes well, he would rejoin the rotation next week on either Tuesday or Wednesday against the Royals.
Luis Gil is also expected to start a throwing program at some point over the next several days, which would mark the end of a nearly six-week shutdown because of a high-grade lat strain.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year still has a ways to go before he would be in position to join the Yankees — at best, that would likely be sometime in June — but it is a step in the right direction.
“I think where he’s at in his rehab and how it’s going, he is trending how it’s supposed to be,” manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday before a 4-3 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park. “He seems to be in a pretty good spot. I expect in the next several days he’ll start throwing.”
Boone did not believe Gil would need an MRI exam to clear him to start throwing.
