Clarke Schmidt of the New York Yankees is preparing for a live batting practice session on Tuesday. This follows his recovery from Tommy John Surgery, which he underwent last summer. The Yankees have not yet assigned Schmidt to a minor league rehab, but if the session goes well, he may begin that process soon.
