NEW YORK, JUL 10 – The 29-year-old right-hander will miss the rest of 2025 and potentially all of 2026 following surgery by Dr. Keith Meister, marking a major setback for the Yankees' pitching depth.
- Yankees right-handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt is scheduled for a follow-up Tommy John procedure on Friday in Dallas, which will keep him out for the entire 2025 season.

- This marks Schmidt's second elbow reconstruction since his initial surgery in May 2017 before being drafted by the Yankees.
- Schmidt registered a 4-4 record and 3.32 ERA in 14 starts this season and is making $3.6 million in 2025, with arbitration raises expected in 2026 and beyond.
- The Yankees face rotation challenges with Schmidt and ace Gerrit Cole both out for the season, impacting pitching depth and postseason aspirations.
