New York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt makes his second rehab start and records three strikeouts in two innings with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In the appearance reported by Yahoo Sports, he allows one run and says he has no pain in his right elbow after the outing.
Both reports frame the start as part of his ongoing recovery and a step toward returning to the Yankees’ pitching staff. Yahoo Sports characterizes the outing as encouraging because Schmidt reports feeling physically well following the rehab work. The MLB-focused Yahoo update similarly describes the performance and emphasizes that he is building up as he moves closer to a bullpen role.
While the outlets align on the core details of innings pitched, strikeouts, and the rehab progression, they differ slightly in emphasis: one highlights the absence of elbow pain, and the other focuses more directly on his build toward the bullpen.
