Schmidt Returns to Bullpen | New York Yankees News

Yankees are calling Clarke Schmidt back to the big leagues — but this time, he’s heading straight to the bullpen. After a rehab stint that included 11 innings and 11 strikeouts, Schmidt looks healthy and ready to contribute, with his most recent outing featuring three Ks and no runs allowed. Manager Aaron Boone expects him activated during the road trip, possibly in Minnesota. Schmidt will join a revamped bullpen featuring John Schreiber and Fulmer — both former starters — giving the Yankees flexibility. To make room, struggling reliever Bradley Hanner is likely headed back to the minors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
