Schmidt allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings during a no-decision Friday. He struck out five in the win over Boston. Schmidt rolled through five shutout frames before serving up a two-run homer to Masataka Yoshida that ended his night just shy of a quality start. Those are the only two runs Schmidt has allowed over 10.1 innings since returning from a lengthy stint on the injured list. He forced 13 swinging strikes Friday, including six via the sweeper. He's sporting a 2.41 ERA with a 74:22 K:BB over 70.1 innings this season. Schmidt is projected to start in Seattle next week.

Schmidt did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-0 win against the Cubs, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out two over 4.2 scoreless innings. Schmidt was lifted at 75 pitches and fell just an out shy of a win in his first appearance since May 26. He kept the Cubs off the board but did show some signs of rust, throwing just 44 strikes and generating only six whiffs. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 2.34 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 69:21 K:BB across 65.1 innings and will try to increase his workload in a matchup with the Red Sox next week.

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.

Schmidt (lat) is scheduled to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday against the Cubs, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. The 28-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a lat strain but is ready to rejoin the Yankees' rotation after three minor-league rehab starts. Schmidt threw 70 pitches across 4.2 innings during his final rehab outing Monday, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his first start back in the big leagues. It appears the Yankees will be utilizing a six-man rotation with Luis Gil (back) also making his return from the injured list Friday.

Schmidt (lat) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Friday at Double-A Somerset, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The Yankees are targeting 50 pitches for Schmidt in the rehab outing, which comes after he gradually raised his pitch count over four live bating practice sessions. Schmidt looks like he'll be given the opportunity to get stretched back out for a starting role, but it's not clear if the Yankees will be able to open up a spot in the rotation for him once he eventually makes his way back from the 60-day injured list. Luis Gil (back) looks on track to return from the 15-day IL slightly before Schmidt, and Marcus Stroman has bounced back from a rough start to the second half with two straight strong starts to help solidify his spot at the back end of the rotation.
