Yankees RHP Clark Schmidt expected to undergo Tommy John surgery
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.

Jays down Yankees for club-best 11th straight home win
(Photo credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images) Kevin Gausman pitched seven strong innings, Bo Bichette hit a two-run double and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting New York Yankees 4-1 on Monday night. The Blue Jays extended their home winning streak to 11 games, a franchise best. The previous best was a 10-game string in 1985. Toronto scored all of its runs in the fifth inning, two of them the result of throwing errors on infield grounders. Gausman (7-7) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight as the Blue Jays extended their lead in the American League East to four games over the second-place Yankees. Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth for his 24th save. New York got its lone run on a fourth-inning homer by Giancarlo Stanton. Yankees starter Carlos Rodon (10-7) gave up four runs (two earned) on six hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out four. Stanton led off the fourth with a homer to left on the first pitch, a hanging splitter from Gausman. Toronto broke through in the fifth. George Springer walked and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grounded a single to left that was just beyond the reach of third baseman Oswald Peraza. Bichette hooked a low changeup into the left-field corner for a two-run double. With two outs, Bichette scored on Peraza's errant throw to first on Myles Straw's grounder to third. Straw scored from second on another throwing error, this time by shortstop Anthony Volpe on Leo Jimenez's grounder. The Blue Jays loaded the bases against Rodon in the second on a double and two walks before Joey Loperfido grounded out to end the inning. The Yankees threatened in the third. Trent Grisham doubled to right with two outs and Aaron Judge was intentionally walked before Jazz Chisholm Jr. struck out. Following Stanton's long ball, the Blue Jays again left the bases loaded in their fourth. Alejandro Kirk led off with his second double of the game, a blast high off the wall in right-center. With two outs, Jimenez walked and Loperfido singled, but Ernie Clement flied out to left.

Create Account As the Blue Jays continue to cement their position atop the American League East, the shortstop rather likes the feeling. 'It feels like it's something we've been striving to do,' Bichette said before playing the hero in a 4-1 Jays win over the New York Yankees at a rocking, sold-out Rogers Centre on Monday, the latest magical night in a summer piling up with them. 'It's the first time in my career. It feels good coming to the park every day with a bunch of teammates that are willing to do whatever it takes to win. When you do that, the best version of yourself will come out.' It came out again in the opener of a three-game series, on a night when the schedule told you it was Game 100 for both the Jays and the Yankees, but it felt as though it was much more than a beautiful Monday evening in July.

It was a brilliant summer night under an open roof at the downtown dome, a showdown between the top two teams in the division played before a sellout crowd of 41,788, the type of throng that is becoming commonplace for the most exciting Jays team in a decade. It was a battle early for the Jays on their way to a franchise-record 11th consecutive home win, but the will to win that is becoming the hallmark of this Toronto team took over in the decisive fifth inning. The big blow of the four-run inning was a two-run double from Bichette to give the Jays their first runs and first lead of the night. The 27-year-old sensed the importance of the moment as well as he ripped a double into the left-field corner off of Yankees southpaw Carlos Rodon and celebrated animatedly as he reached second and watched first George Springer and then Vlad Guerrero Jr. scamper across home plate. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'I think I've played with joy for a lot of my career,' Bichette said when asked about the uplifting environment of playing on a team that extended its bulge atop the AL East to four games. 'But this is just a group of players that make it enjoyable to come to the field. 'Winning helps. I mean it's something that we all had a goal of, but once you start seeing the wins come across the board, it becomes easier. 'And having a bunch teammates that are willing to do whatever it takes to win makes it easier as well. So it's been a great group.' The all-for-one, one-for-all chorus that is driving the narrative for these 59-41 Jays may cause cynics to roll their eyes, but with wins in 17 of their last 21 games — and now four in a row since the all-star break — there's something real about the vibes. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Witness the reaction to Davis Schneider, two batters after Bichette in the fifth. He fought Rodon through an epic 15-pitch at-bat that eventually resulted in an out, but it certainly softened the Yankees starter. As Schneider was being celebrated in the Jays dugout, a pair of Yankees errors helped the Jays to two more runs. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Witness the festive atmosphere all night as fans from field level to the 500s revelled in what felt like a huge win. And witness the celebration as closer Jeff Hoffman recorded his 24th save on his bobblehead night, no less, as the vocal crowd erupted in approval. 'I think some of it is personalities,' manager John Schneider said of the clubhouse mentality. 'Some of it is we've shown to be resilient. We've shown to just move on to the next thing, whether it's in game or after a game. They're pretty well-versed in just saying 'OK, what's important right now?' 'It's nice that they're a very stable group.' For further insight into what's happening with his team, Schneider was asked if he was surprised that these upstart and highly entertaining Jays have a better record than the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Read More The manager didn't flinch before his profound response. 'It's baseball,' Schneider said. 'Teams on paper are teams on paper. There's certain things that aren't objectively qualified, but we've always had a lot of trust in the group. It's funny how it works out. There's still 63 games (62 after Monday's win) and a lot can happen. (But) it kind of shows what guys are made of and they believe they can play with anyone and they should. 'This is where we had hoped to be, where we are really competitive in a tough division.' It's also brought the Jays back to a place Bichette remembers when he first took note of the Jays back in 2015, the year before he was drafted by Canada's team. 'I remember they were a super fun team to watch with a lot of great hitters,' Bichette said. 'They made splashes at the deadline. The atmosphere in the stadium was always super attractive. 'I don't really ever remember watching Blue Jays baseball before that. That team put baseball in Toronto on the map.' The group he's a part of now is bringing them back.
