The New York Yankees seek to avenge Monday’s heartbreaking, rain-soaked 4-3 loss to the Padres when righty Clarke Schmidt returns to the mound on Tuesday.
On the Padres, side, however, is former Yankees top prospect and Schmidt’s former teammate, Michael King. Fans will recall King headlining the trade package New York sent to San Diego for Juan Soto in December 2023. This will be his first time facing his former team amidst a great start to his season.
Schmidt, on the other hand, still seems to be finding himself after starting the season on the IL with a bum shoulder.
