Clarke Schmidt of New York Yankees Out Due to Left Side Soreness

Clarke Schmidt's absence due to side soreness adds to his recent injury history. Earlier in the season, he faced right rotator cuff tendonitis and was placed on the 15-day injured list multiple times. This setback affects his scheduled start against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on May 3rd, 2025.

In Schmidt's place, other pitchers like Carlos Rodón or Max Fried may see changes in their roles. This season, Schmidt has pitched in three games, logging 14 2/3 innings with an ERA of 5.52 and a WHIP of 1.43. His home performance has been notably better, with an ERA of 3.28 and a WHIP of 1.03.
