The New York Yankees faced off against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday afternoon, featuring Clarke Schmidt on the mound for his third appearance of the spring. Despite the 11–7 loss, the Yankees walked away with plenty of positives following a disappointing morning, learning of the Carlos Rodon injury news and the bullpen suffering yet another setback.
Rodon won’t throw for the next 7–10 days as he deals with a left forearm strain, which sometimes suggests Tommy John surgery.
