Yesterday on a rainy Sunday afternoon in the Bronx, the Yankees saw their already extremely slim playoff hopes come to an official end with a loss to the Diamondbacks. Today, they’ll wrap up their home slate for the 2023 season with one last game against Arizona in the Bronx.
Taking the mound for the Yankees in the series finale will be Clarke Schmidt. After a pretty solid run in the middle of the season, Schmidt’s struggled in recent weeks, putting up a 6.00 ERA dating back to August 14th. We’ll see if he can bounce back somewhat as he goes in front of the final Yankee Stadium crowd of the season.
