He\u2019s now scheduled to throw a bullpen on Monday instead of pitching in-game in Dunedin, Fla.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YTKL2L26JJFLXLNS2QHXJNNDRY\"><b>BUY YANKEES TICKETS:<\/b> STUBHUB<b>,<\/b> VIVID SEATS<b>,<\/b> TICKETMASTER<\/p>\n<p id=\"WSWRHABMZFFNZBO3DGZZJUQLSU\">The hope, Boone said, is that Schmidt will recover as normal and be able to jump back into the Yankees\u2019 starting rotation during the next turn through. That\u2019s assuming Schmidt\u2019s shoulder is suddenly back to normal, though. With less than two weeks to go until Opening Day \u2014 and with the other significant injuries the Yankees have been hit with already this spring \u2014 this is an obvious concern.<\/p>\n<p id=\"RGNODGQ24FHMFEYPLLJGVDQCMM\">\u201cI think we\u2019re just being cautious with it,\u201d Boone said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, he\u2019s not making a start. There\u2019s at least that concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"3TIZZWVGQ5HVLDT27Q77RIP2SI\">Boone added that this shoulder soreness for Schmidt is not connected to the lat injury that the right-hander dealt with last season where he was sidelined for more than three months after a sparkling start to his regular season. This is a new injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"A4USOTBN2ZCTHHZRMYLZXJRX4E\">Schmidt had a \u201ccranky\u201d back earlier in spring training, an issue that kept him out of Grapefruit League games until his debut on March 11.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DBUCKP7LI5GLRBUEM2GHVYS26Q\">With Cole and Gil out of the picture, Carlos Rod\u00f3n will start on Opening Day for the Yankees. Max Fried is scheduled to take the ball in Game 2. He would\u2019ve started the Yankees&#8217; opener, but he doesn\u2019t line up to pitch on March 27, so Rod\u00f3n got the nod instead.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ERWOAKIHBFBHHMS7LMHGMR5J54\">Marcus Stroman has a guaranteed spot in the starting staff and either Will Warren or Carlos Carrasco will take the fifth and final spot. A few injuries in the bullpen could also open the door for both Warren and Carrasco to make the club \u2014 one arm could work in a long-relief role and still be in pinstripes \u2014 but any sort of setback here with Schmidt would ensure that both break camp in the rotation.<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Yankees&#8217; Cody Bellinger counting on a secret weapon to replace Juan Soto | Klapisch<\/li>\n<li>Yankees reliever making case for bullpen spot with help from new pitch<\/li>\n<li>How Yankees reliever feels after getting scratched from recent spring outing<\/li>\n<li>Ex-Yankees bust makes surprising career change after hitting new low<\/li>\n<li>Yankees have 2 potential aces, a \u2018bulldog\u2019 and a pitcher throwing \u2018thunder\u2019 debuting on farm this spring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p id=\"AABPYHQWXVAF5MGBPCVCQHEY7Y\"><i>Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
