💨 Abstract

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt underwent a partial ulnar collateral ligament procedure, avoiding a full Tommy John reconstruction. He is aiming to return after the All-Star break next season. His surgery consisted of reattaching the torn ligament to the bone, with an estimated 11-13 months recovery. This injury was diagnosed nearly two weeks after initial reports of soreness, capping a season in which he pitched to a 3.32 ERA over 14 starts.
