One day after he was placed on the injured list with forearm tightness, New York Yankees right-hander Clark Schmidt is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Saturday afternoon that Schmidt has a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow.
Schmidt, 29, had an MRI exam Friday after being removed from Thursday's game at Toronto after three innings. He allowed three runs on 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 added right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge to the active roster on Friday.

MLB roundup: Kyle Tucker, Cubs crush Cardinals 11-0
(Photo credit: Matt Marton-Imagn Images) Matthew Boyd celebrated his All-Star Game selection by striking out nine batters in five innings as the Chicago Cubs demolished the visiting St. Louis Cardinals 11-0 Sunday night. Fellow All-Star selection Kyle Tucker drove in three runs for the Cubs, who have won eight of their last 11 games. Seiya Suzuki contributed a double, home run and two RBIs to the outburst. Boyd (9-3) allowed just three hits and a walk while winning his third straight start. St. Louis starter Erick Fedde (3-9) allowed three runs on two hits and four walks in 1 1/3 innings. The Cardinals have lost five of their last six games to fall 6 1/2 games behind the National League Central-leading Cubs. Astros 5, Dodgers 1 Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs, and Houston pulled away from host Los Angeles. Christian Walker and Yainer Diaz each hit a solo home run for the Astros, who completed a three-game sweep over the Dodgers and improved to 11-2 in their past 13 games. Zack Short went 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI. Dalton Rushing finished 2-for-3 with an RBI double to lead Los Angeles at the plate. The Dodgers were swept for the first time since May 16-18. Yankees 6, Mets 4 Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run of the season and finished with three RBIs to help the Yankees end a six-game losing streak with a win against the host Mets. Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried (11-2) gave up three runs on six hits and struck out five before he was lifted after facing one batter in the sixth inning. Trent Grisham had three hits, while Austin Wells, Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt each added a pair. The Mets had their four-game winning streak snapped. Chris Devenski started a bullpen game for the Mets, allowing one hit in two frames before giving way to Zach Pop (0-1). Orioles 2, Braves 1 Trevor Rogers pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings and Jackson Holliday homered to help visiting Baltimore beat Atlanta to sweep their three-game series. Rogers (2-0) allowed only four hits and two walks and struck out a season-high six. It was the third scoreless stint in five starts for Rogers, who lowered his ERA to 1.57. Holliday went 4-for-4, the second four-hit game of his career, with a double and a home run. He supplied all the offense via a two-run homer in the third inning, his 11th of the season. Braves starter Grant Holmes (4-8) pitched six innings and allowed two runs on four hits. Atlanta has lost four in a row and dropped nine of its last 11. Phillies 3, Reds 1 Zack Wheeler threw a dazzling one-hitter with 12 strikeouts as Philadelphia nipped visiting Cincinnati. Bryson Stott hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning to help make a winner of Wheeler (9-3), who was named National League Pitcher of the Month for June and picked up right where he left off. The right-hander allowed only a home run to Austin Hays and did not walk a batter in a sparkling individual effort. Making his third career start for the Reds, Chase Burns allowed one run and two hits over 4 2/3 innings. He walked four and struck out seven, throwing 91 pitches, and didn't factor into the decision. Red Sox 6, Nationals 4 Trevor Story and Ceddanne Rafaela each homered to help visiting Boston complete a three-game sweep over Washington. Story hit a two-run home run that was part of Boston's four-run first inning, and Rafaela (three hits) added a solo home run in the ninth. Garrett Crochet (9-4) pitched the first five innings for the Red Sox. He allowed nine hits and struck out seven. Brady House collected three hits for the Nationals. Left-hander Shinnosuke Ogasawara (0-1) made his major league debut, but was pulled with two outs in the third after throwing 55 pitches. He gave up four runs on seven hits. Blue Jays 3, Angels 2 Bo Bichette homered, Kevin Gausman struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings and Toronto defeated visiting Los Angeles to sweep the three-game series and extend its season-best winning streak to eight games. Bichette atoned for an error in the top of the fourth inning by driving an 0-1 changeup from Tyler Anderson (2-6) off the facing of the second deck for a home run to lead off the home fourth. Toronto added a run in the inning when Myles Straw doubled and scored on Joey Loperfido's single to right. Davis Schneider hit an RBI single to left for Toronto's go-ahead run in the sixth. Mike Trout hit a solo home run for the Angels, who stranded 12 runners. Taylor Ward added three hits, a walk, an RBI and a stolen base.

Chase Lee (4-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings and gave up only one hit and struck out one. Guardians starter Gavin Williams struck out eight and allowed one hit and no runs over six innings. Cade Smith (2-3) opened the 10th inning and allowed six runs on five hits. Rockies 6, White Sox 4 Mickey Moniak finished a double shy of the cycle, Michael Toglia hit the go-ahead homer and Colorado beat Chicago in Denver. The Rockies wrapped up a 2-4 homestand and avoided being swept for the 13th time this season. Zach Agnos (1-3) pitched an inning for his first major league win and Seth Halvorsen got the final three outs for his eighth save. Mike Tauchman and Colson Montgomery had two hits apiece and Shane Smith (3-7) got the start the same day he was named a reserve for the American League All-Star squad, the only representative for the White Sox. Smith allowed five runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings. Brewers 3, Marlins 1 Brandon Woodruff, pitching in the majors for the first time in 652 days, allowed one run in six innings, leading Milwaukee to a series-clinching win over host Miami. Woodruff (1-0), who had a long recovery from shoulder surgery, gave up two hits and one walk, striking out eight in his first MLB appearance since Sept. 23, 2023. Jackson Chourio homered and drove in all three runs to power Milwaukee's offense. Miami starter Edward Cabrera (3-3) took the tough-luck loss, allowing just two runs and five hits with zero walks in seven innings. Cabrera has pitched seven strong innings in each of his past two starts, allowing a total of just two runs. Royals 4, Diamondbacks 0 Michael Lorenzen pitched seven scoreless innings and won for the first time in nearly a month as Kansas City beat Arizona in Phoenix. Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez homered for the Royals, who took two out of the three games in Arizona. Kyle Isbel went 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Vinnie Pasquantino was also 2-for-4 with two doubles. Lorenzen (5-8) allowed just two hits and a walk to record his first victory since June 8. The Diamondbacks were shut out for just the second time this season. Anthony DeSclafani (0-1) made his first major league start in nearly two years due to an elbow injury. He struck out six and walked none but gave up four earned runs on four hits and two hit batters in four-plus innings. Mariners 1, Pirates 0 Randy Arozarena homered and George Kirby outdueled Paul Skenes as Seattle defeated visiting Pittsburgh to complete a three-game sweep. Arozarena went deep to left off Pirates reliever Carmen Mlodzinski (2-6) with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. It was Arozarena's sixth homer on the Mariners' seven-game homestand, on which they went 5-2. Skenes pitched five scoreless innings and allowed five hits, striking out a season-high 10 without a walk. Kirby (3-4) went 6 1/3 scoreless innings and gave up four hits.

Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores had two hits as San Francisco improved to 5-1 against the Athletics this season. Hayden Birdsong (4-3) gave up one run and three hits over five innings. Tyler Soderstrom homered and doubled while Jacob Wilson had two singles for the Athletics, who won the series opener on Friday before being outplayed the last two games. Jacob Lopez (2-5) of the Athletics was charged with four runs and five hits over 4 1/3 innings. Rays 7, Twins 5 (10 innings) Yandy Diaz's go-ahead double in a three-run 10th inning enabled struggling Tampa Bay to beat Minnesota in Minneapolis. In a 4-4 game, Diaz, who had two hits, lined a run-scoring double to right and later scored on a throwing error by Justin Topa. Junior Caminero's sacrifice fly added an insurance run. Jonathan Aranda went 3-for-5 with two RBIs, and Caminero drove in a pair. Taylor Walls hit a solo homer as the Rays won for just the third time in nine games. Minnesota's Byron Buxton (two hits) and Harrison Bader hit home runs. Bader entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth and responded with a two-run homer to left off Mason Montgomery to even it at 4. Padres 4, Rangers 1 Fernando Tatis Jr. reached base four times and knocked in the go-ahead run as San Diego captured the rubber game of its weekend series with visiting Texas. Six San Diego pitchers combined to give up six hits, with Kyle Hart (3-2) getting the win. Hart relieved opener David Morgan in the second inning and retired all 11 men he faced, striking out two in his first MLB outing since May 28. Robert Suarez worked the ninth for his 25th save to tie Houston's Josh Hader for the MLB lead. Jack Leiter (4-6) absorbed the loss after being charged with two runs on five hits and two walks in 3 2/3 innings, whiffing five. Leiter struggled with his command all night, needing 85 pitches to record his 11 outs. --Field Level Media

Mexico edges U.S. to win Gold Cup title
(Photo credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images) Edson Alvarez scored the go-ahead goal in the 77th minute as Mexico overcame an early deficit to defeat the U.S. Men's National Team 2-1 in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Houston on Sunday night. Mexico won its second straight Gold Cup and 10th overall. The U.S. are second with seven titles while Canada won it in 2000. Chris Richards gave the U.S. the lead in the fourth minute but Raul Jimenez tied it in the 27th. Alvarez scored Mexico's tournament-high fifth set piece goal. The first four were off corner kicks. The winner was a free kick that Johan Vasquez flicked to Alvarez for a diving header that was first ruled offside but the decision was overturned after video review. Goalkeeper Angel Malagon preserved the lead in the second minute of stoppage time with a close-range stop of Patrick Agyemang. Mexico is 6-2 in Gold Cup finals vs. the U.S. Richards stunned the Mexicans with an athletic header, ending their streak of not allowing a goal at 387 minutes. It was the earliest goal in Gold Cup final history. Sebastian Berhalter, whose father, Gregg, was coaching the USMNT in Copa America at this time in 2024 but was fired soon after the tournament, sent a free kick to the middle of the box where Richards had to step back to gain control of the ball before directing it to the underside of the bar where it fell across the line. Jimenez roofed a through ball corner by Marcel Ruiz to make it 1-1. Afterward, Jimenez held up a Diogo Jota jersey to honor his former Wolverhampton, who along with his brother Andre Silva died in a car accident on Thursday. Mexico led in attempts (16-6), shots on goal (8-3) and corner kicks (12-0). The U.S. fielded essentially a B team for the Gold Cup so it was no surprise they were a decided underdog against a veteran Mexican side. Playing in Houston didn't help. No national team in the world has less of a home-field advantage than when the Americans 'host' the Mexicans and the crowd of 71,000 was at least 75 percent pro-Mexico. -- Field Level Media
