Yankees reveal optimistic Clarke Schmidt injury update before Astros series

The New York Yankees may have a key piece of their pitching staff back in the mix sooner rather than later. Right-hander Clarke Schmidt made just 14 starts in 2025 after tests revealed he required Tommy John Surgery. The 30-year-old has thrown a few bullpens, but the Yankees haven't sent him on a rehab assignment yet.

The New York Yankees have provided a very bad injury update regarding star veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
