NEW YORK -- A week after losing Clarke Schmidt for the season to Tommy John surgery, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman on Wednesday said he's "definitely" looking to acquire a starting pitcher ahead of the July 31 trade deadline, adding that the bullpen and infield are also areas he'll seek to upgrade.
"That doesn't guarantee anything," Cashman said, "but it's the time of the year now."
Injuries have ravaged the Yankees' pitching staff.
Gerrit Cole underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery in March. Luis Gil suffered a lat strain in February and isn't expected to make his season debut until late July or early August.
