Quick Summary

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right bicep neuritis, impacting the team's bullpen depth heading into the playoffs. This development comes as the Yankees had hoped Schmidt would contribute alongside Ryan Weathers, who is still a possibility despite his own forearm injury. The club may consider calling up rookie Carlos LeBlanc or other Triple-A options like Bradley Hanner to bolster their playoff roster; Hanner was recalled Thursday to replace Schmidt.

Story summary

Clarke Schmidt, a right-handed pitcher for the Yankees, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday due to right bicep neuritis, a condition that developed after his return from Tommy John surgery. This move affects the team's plans for the upcoming postseason, especially since Schmidt had been seen as a potential key reliever. The Yankees recalled Bradley Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Schmidt's place on the roster. Manager Aaron Boone noted that Carlos Lagrange could be considered despite his lack of major league experience due to shoulder issues. With the uncertainty around Ryan Weathers, who has a left forearm flexor injury, the Yankees face challenges in bolstering their bullpen for their potential AL Wild Card Series against the Red Sox starting Tuesday in The Bronx. Additionally, the team plans to play a doubleheader on Friday against Baltimore due to forecasted wet weather over the weekend.
