Schmidt Returns as Reliever for Yankees | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge’s return to the Yankees lineup is a major boost for their playoff hopes, but the real story might be Clarke Schmidt—back from Tommy John surgery and primed to make his comeback as a reliever. After a strong rehab outing—striking out two in one inning, throwing mostly strikes—Schmidt’s role shift makes perfect sense: limited time, high need, and a bullpen that could use his arm. With experience in the bullpen from before, he’s got the potential to shine right away—and maybe even compete for rotation duty next year. This move could be the spark the Yankees need as they head into October. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
