Clarke Schmidt will hit the IL after experiencing right forearm tightness, impacting the Yankees after his impressive 28.1-inning scoreless streak. The team has recalled Scott Effross and Jayvien Sandridge, while Clayton Beeter has been sent back down to the minors. Schmidt holds a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts this year, and concerns linger regarding forearm injuries. Effross struggles in the minors with a 6.75 ERA, while Sandridge has performed well, potentially making his major-league debut during the Subway Series this weekend.
The Yankees announced this morning that Clarke Schmidt will hit the IL, a day after he left his start against the Blue Jays with right forearm tightness.
It's a crushing blow for the Yankees and Schmidt, who had recently set a franchise record with his 28.1-inning scoreless streak.
Effross made a scoreless appearance in the majors earlier this year, but has an ugly 6.75 ERA to his name in the minors in 2025.
Sandridge has impressed down on the farm, posting a 2.35 ERA in 15.1 innings. Perhaps this weekend's Subway Series will see Sandridge make his major-league debut.
