Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Goes 4.2 innings in rehab start
Schmidt (lat) covered 4.2 innings in his rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Monday, giving up two earned runs on three hits and no walks while striking out seven.
Making what was likely the third and final start of his rehab assignment, Schmidt kept Binghamton off the board for the first four innings before running into some trouble in the fifth. His final line was still strong, and the right-hander built up to 70 pitches (46 strikes) in the outing. On Sunday, manager Aaron Boone suggested that Schmidt has a good chance of coming off the 60-day injured list and slotting back into the rotation during this weekend's series in Chicago versus the Cubs, with Sunday looking to be his most likely return date. Luis Gil (back) also appears on track to return from the IL to start this weekend, so the Yankees are likely to go with a six-man rotation for at least one turn.
