Slated for rehab outing Saturday
Schmidt (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Analyse
It's unclear which affiliate Schmidt will be assigned to, but it will be his first time pitching in a game since he underwent an internal brace procedure last July. The expectation is that Schmidt will not have enough time to be built back up as a starting pitcher, but he could help the Yankees in a relief role in September.

Nearing rehab assignment
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Schmidt (elbow) is ready to begin a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Analyse
Schmidt checked out well after throwing a live batting practice session Tuesday and will presumably report to an affiliate this weekend for what will mark his first game action since he underwent an internal brace procedure last July. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled out Schmidt coming back from the 60-day injured list as a starter, the expectation is that he'll be preparing for a return in a multi-inning relief role during his rehab assignment.

Slated to toss live BP on Tuesday
Schmidt (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Schmidt has been on the injured list all season while rehabbing from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. The 30-year-old hurler is nearing the finish line in his recovery and could begin a minor-league rehab assignment by next weekend if his live BP session Tuesday goes well. Schmidt could then return to the big-league club at some point in September, though the expectation is that he will work out of the bullpen.
