New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been placed on the injured list due to a Grade 1 lat strain, requiring him to refrain from throwing for 4-6 weeks. Schmidt expressed disappointment over the setback, emphasizing his enjoyment of the game and feeling of letting the team down. He sought advice from teammates Luis Severino and Gerrit Cole, who had similar injuries. The team will have to find a replacement for Schmidt in the rotation, with Cody Poteet starting in his place on Saturday.
