NEW YORK -- Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt was placed on the 15-day injured list because of right forearm soreness Friday, one day after his start at Toronto was cut short following three innings.
A 29-year-old right-hander, Schmidt was set to have an MRI on Friday.
New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Right-hander Clayton Beeter had been optioned to the RailRiders after replacing Schmidt on Thursday night and taking the loss in the 8-5 defeat as the Yankees were swept in a four-game series and dropped out of the American League East lead.
