The Yankees reinstated Schmidt (lat) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

After being held out since May due to a strained right lat, Schmidt will now return to the Yankees' rotation and start Saturday's game against the Cubs. The 28-year-old righty made three rehab games in the minors, allowing three earned runs and posting an 18:2 K:BB through 11.1 innings. He was only able to get up to 70 pitches during his most recent outing, however, so there's a good chance he makes a relatively early exit during his first start back in the majors. Ian Hamilton (lat) will return from the 60-day IL alongside Schmidt, pushing Phil Bickford and Nick Burdi off the 40-man roster.
