The New York Yankees’ upcoming rotation decisions are complicated by the progress and recent setbacks of two key starters, Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt. Both are reported to be tracking toward rehab assignments, suggesting a path back toward game action. However, Clarke Schmidt’s most recent session raised a short-term concern. During Tuesday’s live batting practice, Schmidt’s session ended after two plate appearances instead of three, after he experienced forearm cramps. Sources characterize it as a temporary scare rather than a confirmed setback, but it adds uncertainty to the timing of any return. Meanwhile, Carlos Rodón continues to move toward a rehab assignment as expected, without similar new issues highlighted in the reports provided. With these updates, the Yankees weigh how soon each pitcher could rejoin the rotation and what adjustments may be needed depending on their readiness.
