Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt goes on injured list and heads for scan of forearm
A 29-year-old right-hander, Schmidt was set to have an MRI on Friday.
New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Right-hander Clayton Beeter had been optioned to the RailRiders after replacing Schmidt on Thursday night and taking the loss in the 8-5 defeat as the Yankees were swept in a four-game series and dropped out of the AL East lead.
Schmidt allowed three runs, four hits that included George Springer's two-run homer and two walks. He said he's been dealing with soreness in his arm since his June 4 outing against Cleveland.
'Earlier on in the game it felt OK,' Schmidt said. 'As the game progressed it sort of tightened up a little bit on me. I felt like the whole night I was kind of guarding it a little bit on the breaking balls, really not ripping them or trying to get a lot behind them.'
Schmidt, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2017, is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts. He left a June 21 start against Baltimore after throwing a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.
'Any time you're getting an MRI on your forearm, or whatever the body part is, you're not feeling happy about it,' Schmidt said. 'I'm praying everything is going to be clean and minor. We'll see what happens.'

Palmeiras 1 Chelsea 2 – Enzo Maresca's side claim hard-earned win to reach semis
PHILADELPHIA – Chelsea marched on to the semifinals of the Club World Cup on Friday night, surviving a spirited effort from Brazilian side Palmeiras to run out 2-1 winners. An early strike from Cole Palmer and a late own goal from Agustin Giay – where goalkeeper Weverton was the primary culprit — made the difference at Lincoln Financial Field in an entertaining game where Chelsea were good value for the win. Advertisement There was also a treat to be had for Chelsea fans in the Palmeiras equaliser that made things tricky for a while. Teenage sensation Estevao, who will move to Stamford Bridge after the tournament, produced one of the juiciest strikes of the competition to make the contest decidedly interesting. Having won the Europa Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League to clinch Champions League football next season, things had already been looking up for Enzo Maresca's young squad. Now the team is just two wins away from lifting the Club World Cup, and will make the short journey to New York with a spring in their step and a date with another Brazilian outfit, Fluminense, set for Tuesday. Chelsea came into the clash after a mixed group campaign that included a defeat to Flamengo, followed by a weather-delayed round of 16 victory over Benfica. Palmeiras were not entirely convincing in winning Group A, before seeing off fellow Brazilian side Botafogo. The Athletic's Mark Carey and Larry Henry break down the action. When each player was announced onto the pitch before kick off, the biggest cheer was reserved for Cole Palmer. It had to be. Chelsea's No. 10 is the talisman, the creative spark, and was also the goalscorer in Philadelphia. Remarkably, his 16th minute opener was his first goal of the Club World Cup and his first in all competitions in two months — the last being vs. Liverpool in the Premier League on May 4. Receiving the ball from Trevor Chalobah between the lines, Palmer's delightful first touch — and subsequent touch — was excellent, the ball sticking to his foot beautifully before a calm finish into the far corner set Chelsea on their way. Palmer returned to a familiar central attacking position against Palmeiras, after Maresca's experimentation with the 23-year-old on the left side of Chelsea's attack against Benfica. Unsurprisingly, his movement, vision, and execution were all on song as he continually found space to punish Palmeiras from the right half space. Advertisement In raw terms, Palmer's goal and assist output might have dipped from the astronomical numbers he was posting at the start of his Chelsea career, but his performances not been anywhere near as disappointing as people might have made out last season. On a warm night in Philadelphia, it was refreshing to see the 'Cold Palmer' celebration make an appearance for the first time in a while. It's very rare you see a teenager score against his future club, but Palmeiras' starlet Estevao added his name to that rare list in Philadelphia. Estevao, 18, dialed his own number only eight minutes after halftime. Richard Rios' cross was gathered by Estevao on the right side of the Chelsea box before the attacker cut to the end-line and ripped a shot off the crossbar and into the back of the net. It was an acute angle, a tough angle, but one that Estevao defied to score his first Club World Cup goal. Although Chelsea would eventually grab the winner Estevao surely left a positive impression on Blues boss Maresca, showing his versatility and willingness to try things in the final third. The Sao Paulo-born midfielder had garnered plenty of attention throughout the past 12 months after Chelsea reportedly agreed to pay Palmeiras a €34 ($40) million fee for his services. Now with 12 goals and five assists, including Thursday's stunner from 'The City of Brotherly Love', you can see why the Blues paid what they did to get the growing talent into their short and long-term plans. While his Palmeiras career may be coming to an end, an exciting new chapter at Stamford Bridge is just six weeks away from starting. As Chelsea's starting line-up came through an hour before kick-off, the formation suggested that Reece James would be lining up in midfield — just as he did against Flamengo in the group stage. However, an injury in the warm up meant Chelsea's captain was forced to drop out, with 21-year-old Andrey Santos coming in to make his first competitive start for the club since signing in 2023. Advertisement Given that Chelsea were more likely to dominate possession against Palmeiras, it made sense that Maresca opted to select Santos instead of new signing Dario Essugo — who is more of a destructive midfield presence in the centre of the pitch. The reviews for Santos were positive overall, with plenty of neat and tidy passes as he continuously offered himself as an option in Chelsea's 3-1-5-1 formation when in possession. With the dominance they had on the ball, it meant that Santos often acted as a single pivot which allowed Enzo Fernandez to push higher and flex his attacking muscles a little more. That being said, when Palmeiras did come back into the game in the second half, some crucial tackles and interceptions were required from Santos as he snuffed out danger when required. In the absence of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia — out due to suspension and injury, respectively — there were question marks on how Chelsea's midfield would operate in Philadelphia. While Maresca's side were not truly stretched by Palmeiras across the game, their tactical flexibility and depth of squad has been impressive to see this summer. The fact that Santos can slot in so seamlessly in the centre of the park is testament to that. Lincoln Financial Field hadn't disappointed during its FIFA Club World Cup hosting duties this summer and Friday's Chelsea-Palmeiras match was no different. A total of 65,782 packed the home of the Philadelphia Eagles and delivered one of the better overall atmospheres in the eight matches that the city hosted. Between the green and white jerseys, scarves, and flags of the Palmeiras contingent, as well as the blue and white colors of the traveling Chelsea supporters, both clubs were well represented. It marked Chelsea's third match in Philadelphia after previously taking on Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis in the group stage. Similar to the Blues other matches, there were plenty of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, and even Christian Pulisic kits represented around the stadium. Palmeiras, who was the third Brazilian club to play in Philadelphia this summer, also had some of the best support in the competition. Flamengo and Botafogo were also well represented in the city, but Palmeiras fans took it up another level.. Just ask the famous City Hall. Palmeiras fans out at Philadelphia City Hall 📸 #FIFACWC — Chelsea Photos (@ChelseaInPhotos) July 4, 2025 While Philadelphia's Club World Cup schedule may be over, this summer proved to be a positive dress rehearsal ahead of the city's hosting duties for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. If anything, it was against the run of play. After Chelsea's dominant first half, Enzo Maresca's side let Palmeiras back into the contest with a passive start to the second half from which the Brazilians capitalised. While Maresca will be disappointed with the performance at times, he will be equally happy with the response from his players. Despite Palmeiras's threat on the counter-attack, Chelea stayed in the game, worked their way forward and snuck a winner thanks to a deflected Malo Gusto effort from a corner. It might not have been the most beautiful finish, and there is no doubt that goalkeeper Weverton should have done much better, but Chelsea will not mind at all. A crucial late goal sets up a very winnable semi-final clash with Fluminense that could give them a straightforward route to the final in New York in less than a fortnight. Advertisement Suspensions and injuries might be the main barrier to success, but Chelsea showed character and grit in Philadelphia and were worthy of their victory across the course of the game.

Chelsea advances to Club World Cup semifinals with 2-1 win over Palmeiras
Associated Press PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chelsea scored the go-ahead goal on Malo Gusto's 83rd-minute shot that went in after a pair of deflections, beating Palmeiras 2-1 on Friday night for a spot in the Club World Cup semifinals. Cole Palmer put Chelsea ahead in the 16th minute but Estêvão, an 18-year-old who will transfer to Chelsea this summer, tied the score against his future club with an angled shot in the 53rd. Gusto's shot following a short corner kick appeared to deflect off defender Agustin Giay and goalkeeper Weverton and sent the Chelsea portion of 65,782 fans into a frenzy. FIFA credited Weverton with an own goal. Chelsea won't travel far for its next match, facing Fluminense on Tuesday at East Rutherford, New Jersey. Hércules came off the bench and scored in the 70th minute to lift Fluminense past Al Hilal 2-1 in Friday's earlier quarterfinal. With Chelsea's win, three of the four semifinal teams will be from Europe, with one from Brazil. The 23-year-old Palmer scored his first goal in the Club World Cup, and showed why he's widely considered one of the top attacking midfielders. He took a pass from Trevoh Chalobah and slipped the ball inside the far post. Fans made it to Lincoln Financial Field on a holiday weekend that included a strike by nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia, competition from an earlier Phillies game, and a concert and fireworks show near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. FIFA had slashed tickets to as low as $11.15. FIFA president Gianni Infantino attended the game, the eighth of the tournament at the home of NFL Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. There was a pregame pregame tribute for Liverpool player Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, who were found dead near Zamora in northwestern Spain after the Lamborghini they were driving crashed and burst into flames on an isolated stretch of highway. Key moments Forward Liam Delap and defender Levi Colwill each got their second yellow cards of the tournament and will be suspended for the semifinal. Takeaways Estêvão agreed to a deal with Chelsea last summer that moved him to Chelsea afterhe turned 18. ___ AP soccer: recommended

Cronenworth's walk-off single in the 10th lifts the Padres to a 3-2 win over the Rangers
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jake Cronenworth singled to right field with the bases loaded and two outs in the 10th inning to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Friday. Cronenworth's single off Robert Garcia (1-4) brought in automatic runner Jackson Merrill. Cronenworth raised his right index finger as he rounded first base and was mobbed by teammates near second after his fifth career walk-off hit. Manny Machado was intentionally walked to open the inning and Luis Arraez struck out. Gavin Sheets singled to center to load the bases. Xander Bogaerts injured himself swinging at the first pitch of his at-bat, was checked by an athletic trainer and left the game. Bryce Johnson replaced him and struck out. The Rangers went to extra innings for the sixth time in nine games, losing four of them. Machado had two hits to reach 1,997 in his career, including a 440-foot solo home run to straightaway center field in the fourth to pull the Padres to 2-1. Machado, elected the National League's starting third baseman for the All-Star Game, has 356 career homers. The Rangers jumped on Randy Vásquez with two outs in the third. Josh Smith walked and Corey Seager singled, with both scoring when Marcus Semien doubled to right-center over Fernando Tatis Jr.'s outstretched glove. After Machado's homer pulled the Padres within one, they tied it in the sixth, getting just one run despite loading the bases with one out. Tatis opened with a triple that ticked off the glove of right fielder Adolis García. Machado's one-out walk chased starter Kumar Rocker, and Arraez greeted Hoby Milner with an RBI single. Sheets singled to load the bases before Milner struck out Bogaerts and Cronenworth. Adrian Morejon (5-3) got the win. Key moment Cronenworth's single ended it after 3 hours, 8 minutes. Key stat Machado can become the 12th player to reach 350 homers and 2,000 hits at age 32 or younger. Up next Rangers RHP Jack Leiter (4-5, 4.29 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday night against Padres RHP Stephen Kolek (3—3, 3.73). ___
