Clarke Schmidt News
The New York Yankees optioned starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after their 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday. The 25-year-old Schmidt was called up from Triple-A to make his 2021 debut against the New York Mets on Sunday. He pitched 4 1/3 innings in the game and allowed seven hits, three walks and five runs (two earned) while striking out two. It's been an injury-plagued year for Schmidt, though he's managed some success in the minors. Over 27.1 innings spread across multiple levels of the minors this year, Schmidt has a 2.96 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP with 11.2 K/9. There's a solid chance he'll get another spot start with the Yankees before the end of the regular season. He may also find himself in a relief role with the team.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been recalled and will take the mound against the New York Mets Sunday night. Infielder Andrew Velasquez was optioned to make room on the active roster. Schmidt has appeared in three games this season, including one start, and the top prospect has allowed five earned runs on seven hits and five walks in 6 1/3 innings. He's struck out seven batters. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues should surely avoid, but managers in dynasty and keeper formats should keep a close eye.
The New York Yankees transferred pitcher Clarke Schmidt (elbow) from Low-A Tampa to Double-A Somerset on Thursday. Schmidt suffered an elbow strain back in February and has been working his way back ever since. In his only rehab start at Low-A, he pitched three innings and allowed one hit, two walks and one run while striking out four. He could make his way back to the big leagues later this month for his 2021 debut provided he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Schmidt struggled in his first, brief stint in the majors last year, making three appearances (one start) and allowing five earned runs over 6.1 innings.

The Yankees have made some noticeable additions to the starting rotation with Corey Kluber and Jameson Taillon, however significant question marks remain with those players as well as over who will fill in the bottom of the rotation. Schmidt has just 6.1 innings of big-league experience but his stuff gives him a shot at reaching the ceiling of a No. 3/4 starter so he should get a fair shot at securing a role at some point in 2021. Unfortunately, he suffered an elbow injury at the beginning of camp and will most likely open the year on the IL before moving to the alternate training site to build up stamina.His three-pitch mix features a fastball that can hit 96-97 mph and all offerings have a chance to be better-than-average once he polishes his command.Schmidt's control has also historically been much better than what we saw in his brief MLB debut last year. His strong ground-ball tendencies along with his ability to miss bats give him a chance to be an impact arm for the Yankees later this year if/when Jordan Montgomery or another young arm falters or gets hurt. His ADP is currently north of 500 but he could be an astute waiver-wire pick-up later in the year.
