Clarke Schmidt scratches on Saturday, start in the latest Yankees injury, concern

Clarke Schmidt was scratched by his planned start on Saturday with a secondary cat, of which he does not believe that she is serious.

The right thing said he expected to put the Padres on Tuesday and do not believe that an injured Liestenin will be necessary.

Schmidt threw a little feeling of pain through after he had reached 90 parking spaces for the first time in his outing Sunday.

Schmidt said he could have started against the rays in the Bronx on Saturday when the Yankees turned to Lefty Ryan Yarbrough instead, which could make a Bullpen game.

Schmidt said that he was informed that the Yankees would only give him a few additional rest days after Max Fried was seven brilliant innings on Friday, which had spared the Bullpen for one night.
