Eligibility
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Clarke Schmidt will be shut down for 4-to-6 weeks with his lat strain.

That is just until Schmidt can resume baseball activities, so he could be sidelined upwards of 6-8 weeks. Cody Poteet will take his spot in the starting rotation for now until Gerrit Cole makes his return.
The Yankees placed Clarke Schmidt on the 15-day IL.
Fantasy Impact
Schmidt is dealing with a right lat strain. It is unclear who will take his spot in the starting rotation. The Yankees recalled Cody Morris to add some depth to the bullpen.

Clarke Schmidt took the loss on Tuesday, surrendering two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the loss, Schmidt's performance was relatively solid, maintaining a decent strikeout rate and limiting the Mariners to just a few scoring opportunities. His season ERA slightly increased to 2.59, but his overall marks, including a 1.13 WHIP and a 9.9 K/9, continue to position him as a reliable option in fantasy rotations.
Clarke Schmidt delivered a masterful performance, tossing eight shutout innings while allowing just three hits and striking out eight in the Yankees' 5-0 victory over the Twins on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
This outing not only underscores his growing reliability but also bolsters his already impressive season stats. With a 2.49 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP through nine starts, Schmidt is carving out a role as a dependable starter in fantasy lineups. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.8 K/9) combined with a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.67) suggests that his success is sustainable, making him a valuable asset in both season-long and daily fantasy formats. His performance against a competitive Twins lineup should reassure managers of his potential for high-quality starts moving forward.
