The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt on the 15-day injured list Friday with tightness in his right forearm.
Schmidt, 29, had an MRI exam Friday after being removed from Thursday's game at Toronto after three innings. He allowed three runs and four hits and two walks with one strikeout in the 8-5 loss.
He is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA through 14 starts. He has struck out 73 batters and walked 30 in 78 2/3 innings.
Schmidt is 23-24 with a 3.82 ERA in 97 career games (67 starts) since making his debut with the Yankees in 2020.
New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Right-hander Clayton Beeter was optioned to Triple-A after Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Mets, Yankees heading in opposite directions
(Photo credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images) In New York, the Yankees continue to slide, but the slide appears to be over for the Mets. The Yankees enter the second game of a three-game Subway Series on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field losers of five straight. The Mets are on a three-game winning streak with signs they've turned the corner from their own slump. The Yankees' skid has dropped them out of first place in the American League East. They have lost six of their past seven games and 15 of 21. It's a stretch that began with their longest losing streak of the season -- a six-game skid from June 13-18 -- and the Yankees could match it on Saturday. On Friday, the Mets took the series opener 6-5, erasing a 5-3 lead the Yankees held after five innings. 'I feel like we're playing well at times, and then we're just not finding ways to win games,' Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe said. 'That's just about it.' The Yankees are no strangers to slumps leading into the All-Star break. Last season, they won just eight of 26 games from June 15 to July 14. In 2023, they lost 13 of 23 from June 14 to July 9. 'We will stick together through this and embrace the adversity of it,' manager Aaron Boone said Thursday after being swept by the Toronto Blue Jays. 'This will make us stronger as we navigate through the season. I know nobody likes hearing that, but that's what this is. We know this week is coming for us. And it will make us stronger, especially as we rally together.' One bright spot for the Yankees has been leadoff hitter Jasson Dominguez, who homered twice on Friday. The 22-year-old, in his first full season in the majors, is riding a six-game hitting streak in which he's batting .444 (12-for-27). Carlos Rodon (9-5, 2.95 ERA) will be on the mound for the Yankees on Saturday. The left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.15 ERA in three career starts against the Mets, who will look to extend their winning streak to four games. Jeff McNeil delivered the game-winning, two-run home run in the seventh inning Friday, and relief pitcher Reed Garrett got the final six outs to secure the save. It was a big win for the Mets, who in the past three games matched their win total from their 17 previous games. Their 3-14 record from June 13-July 2 started with a seven-game losing streak that dropped them to second place in the National League East. 'This is a huge series,' Garrett said. 'This is what everybody in New York looks forward to. So to get the last six was big for me, and just a little subtle reminder to keep going, keep fighting.' Held to one hit in 10 at-bats in the first series between the two teams at Yankee Stadium in May, the Mets' Juan Soto got his bat working in the opener, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs and scoring twice. He's connected for a hit in 12 of his past 17 games, and he reached base in four of the five games he didn't record a hit. 'I just feel good right now,' Soto said. 'I'm seeing the ball really well. I'm trying to take my chances. When I swing the bat, I'm trying to do damage every time.' Right-hander Frankie Montas (0-1, 6.00 ERA) will start for the Mets on Saturday. He is 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against the Yankees. This will be his third start of the season for Montas, who was sidelined for nearly three months because of a lat strain. --Field Level Media

Whitecaps exercise buyout on F Damir Kreilach
Field Level Media 05 Jul 2025, 20:35 GMT+10 (Photo credit: Christopher Creveling-Imagn Images) The Vancouver Whitecaps have exercised a buyout of forward Damir Kreilach's guaranteed contract. The 36-year-old Croatian will no longer occupy a senior roster spot, and his wages won't count against the club's salary budget. 'Damir has been an exceptional leader and mentor over the past one and a half years,' sporting director Axel Schuster said Friday. 'Many of our young players, who are now making their mark in MLS, were so well prepared thanks to his steady presence and support in the locker room. 'We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Damir and wish him and his family all the very best in the future.' Kreilach contributed one goal in four matches (no starts) this season with Vancouver. His two-year totals with the Whitecaps included three goals in 21 matches (six starts). Kreilach racked up 47 goals in 151 MLS matches (133 starts) with Real Salt Lake from 2018-23. The 2021 MLS All-Star's career totals across all competitions include 60 goals and 20 assists in 199 appearances. Each MLS club is permitted two buyouts per season. --Field Level Media
