Bullpen session coming up soon
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Schmidt (elbow) has resumed playing catch without issue and should get back on a mound in the "next couple days," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Analisi
Working his way back from July 2025 internal brace surgery, Schmidt threw two innings of live batting practice Tuesday but wasn't able to cover a third inning as planned when his forearm cramped up on him. Fortunately for Schmidt, he appears to have steered clear of any sort of major setback, given that he was cleared to start playing catch after a few days of rest. Assuming he's able to make it through his next bullpen session without issue, Schmidt could be ready to face live hitters again by the end of the week.

Expected to throw Thursday
Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he expects Schmidt (elbow/forearm) to play catch Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Analisi
Schmidt's live batting practice session Tuesday was cut short due to cramping in his forearm, but the issue doesn't seem to be serious enough to warrant pausing his throwing program entirely. Assuming he gets through Thursday's round of catch without any issues, he'll throw a bullpen session over the weekend and could resume facing live hitters shortly afterward.

Cramps interrupt live BP
Manager Aaron Boone said that Schmidt (elbow) threw two innings of live batting practice instead of three due to some forearm cramping, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Analisi
The right-hander will be evaluated further Tuesday night, but Boone indicated that the club is hopeful it's not a serious concern. Schmidt is working his way back from the internal brace procedure he underwent in July of 2025 and is trending toward a return in September, though any further arm issues could quickly sideline him for the rest of the year.

Trending toward September return
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Schmidt (elbow) is eyeing a return from the 60-day injured list in September, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
Analisi
Schmidt, who is working his way back from the internal brace surgery he underwent July 11, 2025, resumed facing hitters shortly after the All-Star break and has built up to throwing 45 pitches in live sessions. Per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network, Schmidt will throw his next live BP on Tuesday, and he could head out on an extended rehab assignment soon thereafter. The Yankees will likely have Schmidt get stretched out as a starter while he's out on the farm, but he may represent more of an insurance policy for the rotation. The Yankees will have six high-quality starters once Carlos Rodon (elbow) returns from the injured list later this month, so barring an injury to another member of the rotation, Schmidt could be ticketed for a multi-inning relief role once he's activated.
