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. The Yankees are managing their pitching staff carefully, as left-hander Ryan Weathers is also out with a forearm strain. Schmidt is expected to transition into a relief role once he returns to play.
