In recent Yankees roster updates, GM Brian Cashman announced that Clarke Schmidt will start the season on the injured list due to a shoulder injury, while Carlos Carrasco, an experienced 38-year-old, will fill his place in the starting rotation. J.C. Escarra achieved a significant milestone by making the Yankees' roster as a backup catcher, following a non-traditional career path. Other updates include the team searching for a right-handed bat off the bench and various pitchers competing for bullpen spots due to injuries.
Brian Cashman confirmed that Clarke Schmidt is starting the season on the IL due to a shoulder injury. Carlos Carrasco will take his place in the rotation.
