The New York Yankees<\/a> are currently taking on the Seattle Mariners in a 3-game series this week. The series will conclude on Thursday afternoon, with New York looking to sweep the M\u2019s.<\/p>\n

During the Mariners series, the Yankees received an update on pitcher Clarke Schmidt, who has been sidelined for 13+ months as he continues to rehab from Tommy John Surgery. It was Schmidt\u2019s 2nd TJS in his career, and he last pitched in MLB<\/a> on July 3, 2025.<\/p>\n

Here is the latest Clarke Schmidt update from MLB.com (on 8\/12):\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHas resumed playing catch after experiencing right forearm cramping during Aug. 4 live batting practice. Schmidt has strung together good days, but has yet to throw from a mound again. (updated Aug. 12)\u201d<\/p>\n

MLB.com notes an expected return date of \u2018possibly August\u2019, which might be a bit frivolous to think at this moment. Perhaps early-Mid September the Yankees could see Clarke Schmidt on a big-league mound. Remember, he will certainly need a rehab stint, and the latest setback could only push that rehab assignment further back.<\/p>\n

Schmidt is currently on the 60-day IL, and obviously has not pitched this season.<\/p>\n

CBSSports.com\u2019s RotoWire staff wrote (a few days ago):\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWorking his way back from July 2025 internal brace surgery, Schmidt threw two innings of live batting practice Tuesday but wasn\u2019t able to cover a third inning as planned when his forearm cramped up on him. Fortunately for Schmidt, he appears to have steered clear of any sort of major setback, given that he was cleared to start playing catch after a few days of rest. Assuming he\u2019s able to make it through his next bullpen session without issue, Schmidt could be ready to face live hitters again by the end of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u2018end of the week\u2019 is almost here, so stay up to date with all the latest Clarke Schmidt news, as there could be a positive development this weekend.<\/p>\n
