The Yankees have been desperately trying to get Clarke Schmidt starting rotation opportunities in hopes of him developing into a reliable starter. However, his first two starts of the 2023 season have been challenging, giving up three earned runs in his first game and four runs in his second. He pitched 3.1 innings in both games respectively, with similar stat lines against the Giants and Orioles.
