Schmidt Returns to Yankees Bullpen | New York Yankees News

Clarke Schmidt is poised for a dramatic return to the Yankees bullpen after a grueling year-long recovery from Tommy John surgery, feeling “very high” about stepping back onto the mound—possibly even like a debut. Though he’ll pitch in relief rather than start, his strong rehab numbers (11 Ks, 3 ER in 7 innings) and fastball velocity (95-96 mph) signal he’s physically ready to compete for a playoff roster spot in a crowded bullpen. Manager Aaron Boone sees him as a potential game-changer, especially with his ability to deliver short, high-impact bursts. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton remains sidelined without a return date, Trent Grisham is cautiously rehabbing a hamstring strain, and even Boone is dealing with a knee issue after playing catch with Judge.
