The New York Yankees are linked to a reunion with a vetran starting pitcher to help replace Clarke Schmidt who's done for the season.

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt likely needs a second Tommy John surgery that would sideline him for the remainder of this season and much of next year, a huge blow to New York’s injury-riddled rotation.

The Yankees’ rotation is absorbing another significant blow with the news that right-hander Clarke Schmidt appears likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, manager Aaron Boone said before Saturday’s Subway Series game against the Mets at Citi Field.
