Clarke Schmidt will not pitch against the Toronto Blue Jays due to shoulder soreness, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. Schmidt is expected to have a bullpen session instead. This injury comes at a challenging time for the Yankees, who are already dealing with multiple injuries, including ace Gerrit Cole's season-ending elbow injury and Giancarlo Stanton's elbow pain. Despite these setbacks, the Yankees aim to bounce back after losing to the Dodgers in the World Series and adding key players to strengthen their roster.
Schmidt is dealing with some shoulder soreness, manager Aaron Boone told reporters in Florida. Schmidt is going to have a bullpen session instead of facing the Blue Jays.
Boone described it, the 29-year-old Schmidt, who went 5-5 with a 2.85 ERA in 16 starts for the Yankees last season, is 'not getting all the way back to how he normally would.'
New York has been hit hard by injuries during spring training. Ace right-hander Gerrit Cole is out with a season-ending elbow injury.
New York won the AL East last year and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. The Yankees lost Juan Soto in free agency.
