One player that recently went on the injured list due to a groin injury is Nestor Cortes, and with that unfortunate event unfolding, Clarke Schmidt is being promoted to the rotation to fill his spot.
Schmidt has had another strong season, but also one where he was in Triple-A at points even though he certainly should not have been. Luckily, he’s getting another chance to showcase his obvious talent to manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees coaching staff.
