Around the Empire: Yankees news - 5/2/22

NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: MLB rosters dropped from 28 to 26 men today, which meant that some tough decisions were in store for the players caught on the bubble. Clarke Schmidt and Miguel Andújar were the two victims of the roster crunch, both optioned to Triple-A Scranton despite playing major roles in Sunday’s win over the Royals. Schmidt had posted a 1.08 ERA in eight appearances, but with the emergence of Michael King, the long relief role for the Yankees may be filled for now. It’s likely better for Schmidt to get some regular playing time, as injuries and pandemics have meant that he’s never reached 100 combined innings in a season as a professional.
