Not many realize it, but the New York Yankees need Clarke Schmidt.
It hasn’t been a good week for the Bronx Bombers. They were swept by the rival Tampa Bay Rays in an overall anemic showing. To add insult to injury, the New York Mets had a player test positive for COVID-19, thus canceling this past weekend’s Subway Series.
And to top it all off, the injury bug has cursed the Yankees once again. Zack Britton is out with a strained hamstring. Gleyber Torres is expected to miss a few weeks with hamstring and quad injuries.
