Schmidt's Biceps Injury Ends Season, Complicating Yankees' Playoff Roster
The New York Yankees placed right-hander Clarke Schmidt on the 15-day injured list with right biceps neuritis, effectively ending his season. The move, retroactive to September 21, removes a key bullpen option for the postseason. Manager Aaron Boone stated Schmidt is unlikely to return this year, though the injury is considered minor long-term. The Yankees recalled Bradley Hanner from Triple-A to fill the spot. This development forces New York to finalize a crowded playoff roster, potentially featuring 16 position players and only 10 pitchers, while they await the return of other injured stars like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
