NEW YORK -- Right-hander Clarke Schmidt was scratched from his scheduled start for the New York Yankees on Saturday with soreness in his left side, leaving the club to give the ball to left-hander Ryan Yarbrough against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Schmidt is not expected to land on the injured list. Manager Aaron Boone said Schmidt had an MRI on Friday afternoon and it "came back clean." Schmidt is slated to start against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
"I told them I was good to go today," Schmidt said.
