Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Schmidt (lat) might not necessarily require another rehab start, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Boone said prior to Schmidt's second rehab outing Wednesday that the right-hander would probably make two more rehab starts, but he's now leaving open the possibility that Schmidt's next appearance comes in the majors. Schmidt has allowed two runs with an 11:2 K:BB covering 6.2 innings in his first two rehab starts. The expectation is that he will be used as a starter upon his return to the Yankees, although he could eventually shift to the bullpen once Luis Gil (back) comes off the IL.
