TAMPA \u2014 Clarke Schmidt completing a bullpen session on Monday morning allowed the Yankees to exhale slightly, though they may not be out of the woods just yet.<\/p>\n
It has been the days after Schmidt throws that have given him trouble, so the Yankees right-hander still has to get through those to prove his shoulder fatigue is just a minor speed bump instead of another dagger to the rotation. But the uber-confident Schmidt is hopeful it is the former instead of the latter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be throwing if there was a concern of something major,\u201d Schmidt said after tossing about 24 pitches in his bullpen session at Steinbrenner Field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously was bouncing back a little slower this week and just being a little more cautious with the time of year. And losing a couple guys in the rotation, you don\u2019t want to make a small thing a big thing. So just being smart and felt really good today.\u201d<\/p>\n
If everything goes smoothly over the next couple of days in Schmidt\u2019s recovery, he could get back into game action on Wednesday or Thursday. <\/p>\n
Doing so would keep open the possibility that he will be ready to start the season on time, though the Yankees were already planning on him starting the sixth game of the season to give him one extra live batting practice session after he was slowed earlier in camp by a cranky back.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I attest a lot of this to after the longer end of the season, the later in the season we played and went to the World Series, I kind of shut down longer from the throwing,\u201d Schmidt said. \u201cI shut down throwing longer than I should have. But it\u2019s kind of like, you don\u2019t really know until you go through it. It\u2019s kind of trial by error.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, I felt like I shut down a little bit too long and I\u2019ve been playing catch up, kind of behind the eight ball a little bit. But feeling good now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Yankees have already lost Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) for the season and Luis Gil (lat strain) at least until June. Losing Schmidt for any kind of extended time would stretch their already thin depth even more.<\/p>\n
Schmidt missed over three months in the middle of last season with a lat strain, but he is trying to use that experience to help him now. <\/p>\n
He said Monday he threw through the lat issue \u201cfor a few weeks\u201d last year and made what could have been a smaller thing a bigger issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou learn from that mistake that you had last year, but it goes hand in hand: I wouldn\u2019t be throwing right now if we felt or I felt like I was putting myself at a high risk,\u201d Schmidt said, who notably threw on Monday without any medical staffer carefully monitoring him. \u201cIt\u2019s just being smart and being cautious. But thankfully I haven\u2019t had to shut down and put the ball down and revamp my workload. We feel like we\u2019re in a good spot as far as the workload goes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
