Yankees News

In a significant setback for the Yankees, Clarke Schmidt has been placed on the injured list with bicep neuritis, effectively ruling him out of the Wild Card Series and highlighting the ongoing injury woes that plague this squad as they gear up for the postseason. Meanwhile, the Yankees are experimenting with their lineup, shifting Anthony Volpe to third base in hopes of optimizing their roster for October. Despite the absence of star slugger Aaron Judge, the pitching staff remains formidable, led by Carlos Rodón, who boasts an impressive 2.67 ERA. Cam Schlittler is also making waves with a 1.95 ERA, ranking third in Yankees history, further solidifying his Cy Young candidacy. With the postseason looming, the team’s ability to adapt under pressure will be crucial, especially against the formidable Rays.
