Clarke Schmidt Feels "Great" After Bullpen, Still Hoping To Pitch April 3
20 seconds agoNew York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) said he felt "great" after throwing a 24-pitch bullpen session on Monday in camp while throwing all of his pitches. Schmidt added that he "wouldn't be throwing" if something major was wrong and still thinks that he'll be able to make his regular-season debut on April 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. "That's the goal," the 29-year-old said. He was originally scheduled to start a Grapefruit League game on Monday, but the Yankees are playing it safe after he didn't bounce back as expected after his last start. After all, they can't take any chances after already losing Gerrit Cole (elbow) for the year and with Luis Gil (lat) opening on the injured list. Even if Schmidt is ready to go for his April 3 start, fantasy managers may want to shy away in DFS contests for the fact that he may be on a short leash.
