Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Tossing another live BP
Schmidt (elbow) is scheduled to pitch a live bullpen session Sunday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Schmidt continues to progress in his recovery from an internal brace procedure that he underwent on his right elbow in July of 2025. The Yankees should have a better sense of Schmidt's recovery timeline once he's cleared to embark on a rehab assignment, but Schmidt is on track to be back with the big club in mid-August, though it's unclear whether he'll be used as a reliever or starter upon his return.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Set for live BP session Saturday
Schmidt (elbow) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Schmidt is nearing a return from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July, and this will be his first time facing live hitters. As long as he gets through a couple BP sessions, Schmidt should then head out on a rehab assignment, giving him a chance to return to the big-league pitching staff sometime next month.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Uncertain role upon return
Yankees GM Brian Cashman said this week that Schmidt (elbow) could be used as a starter or as a reliever when he returns from the injured list, MLB.com reports.
Schmidt hasn't yet pitched this season as he continues to work his way back from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. The right-hander was a reliever early in his career, but he started in 62 of his 63 regular-season appearances over the past three campaigns. With that said, the Yankees seem open to deploying Schmidt out of the bullpen upon his return, which could help him settle back in coming off a lengthy absence. The 30-year-old has been logging bullpen sessions and is expected to begin facing hitters before the end of July, which would put him on track to potentially be activated sometime in August.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Getting closer to facing hitters
Schmidt (elbow) tossed a side session Wednesday and is "a couple of weeks" away from facing live hitters, per MLB.com.
Schmidt is now almost a year out from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. The veteran hurler began throwing from a mound in early April but has been limited to side sessions so far. If he continues his throwing program and is able to face hitters in late June or early July, Schmidt could be ready for game action at some point in August.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Gets back on mound
Schmidt (elbow) threw a bullpen session Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
The 10-pitch, all-fastballs bullpen session was Schmidt's first time throwing off the mound since he had an internal brace procedure on his right elbow last July. Schmidt will continue with a gradual build-up, aiming to face hitters by June. The right-hander could be an option for the Yankees' rotation at some point in the second half of the season.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Could progress to bullpens in March
Schmidt (elbow) is tentatively slated to being throwing bullpens in March and could face hitters in April or May, per MLB.com.
Schmidt is rehabbing from the internal brace surgery he underwent last July. To this point, he's thrown only on flat ground and up to 90 feet, so he still has multiple hurdles to clear on his way back to game action. Should Schmidt continue to progress without setbacks, he could return to a big-league mound shortly after the All-Star break.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Avoids arbitration with Yankees
The Yankees and Schmidt (elbow) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.5 million contract Friday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Schmidt ended the 2025 season on the 60-day injured list after undergoing an internal brace procedure on his right elbow in mid-July, and he may not be available to pitch for the Yankees until after the All-Star break in 2026. Prior to his injury, Schmidt posted a 4-4 record across 14 starts with a 3.32 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 73:30 K:BB over 78.2 innings.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Shifts to 60-day IL

Schmidt is slated to miss the rest of the season and most of the 2026 campaign after undergoing an internal brace surgery on his right elbow July 11. The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Austin Slater, whom the Yankees acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Wednesday.

Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Gets internal brace procedure
Schmidt (elbow) revealed Monday that the UCL surgery he underwent July 11 was an internal brace procedure, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.
Having the internal brace procedure rather than a full Tommy John repair gives Schmidt a much better chance of contributing next season, with the righty proclaiming Monday that he'll "be a factor next year." According to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Schmidt is expected to face a recovery timeline of 11-to-13 months, whereas a traditional Tommy John surgery would entail a 14-to-16-month recovery period. Schmidt previously underwent Tommy John surgery back in 2017 before he was drafted.
