Clarke Schmidt primed to rejoin Yankees after final rehab start
NY Post
DETROIT — Help is on the way for the Yankees rotation, one arm much sooner than the other.
Clarke Schmidt is set to make his final rehab start on Thursday with Double-A Somerset, and if that goes well, he would rejoin the rotation next week on either Tuesday or Wednesday against the Royals.
Luis Gil is also expected to start a throwing program at some point over the next several days, which would mark the end of a nearly six-week shutdown because of a high-grade lat strain.
The reigning AL Rookie of the Year still has a ways to go before he would be in position to join the Yankees — at best, that would likely be sometime in June — but it is a step in the right direction.
“I think where he’s at in his rehab and how it’s going, he is trending how it’s supposed to be,” manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday before a 4-3 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park. “He seems to be in a pretty good spot. I expect in the next several days he’ll start throwing.”
Boone did not believe Gil would need an MRI exam to clear him to start throwing.

The Rangers going from Presidents’ Trophy winners to a borderline sideshow was more than enough cause for concern this season.
Francisco Alvarez and Jeff McNeil both played minor league rehab games Sunday and are due to be at Citi Field on Monday to be reevaluated.
Experience at this time of year matters.
Few defenders have found ways to slow down Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic during a career that has already featured three MVP awards and could add another in a few weeks, but for a few brief moments Saturday, Clippers assistant — and former Knicks head coach — Jeff Van Gundy found a way.
This is a sad day for the Rangers organization. Conducting a second coaching search within three years and the third over the past five off-seasons represents an admission of guilt from the hierarchy, past or present. Successful franchises are models of stability.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two-time All-Star Ja Morant promised a sprained right ankle wouldn’t keep him out of Memphis’ play-in game against Dallas with the Western Conference’s last postseason berth up for grabs Friday night.

It just sort of happened.
On Thursday night, we were all Blue Jackets. For all time, we will remember Columbus, a team, organization and fan base that elevated the sport in the wake of unspeakable tragedy.
Fans at Citi Field already were growing restless over Juan Soto’s early season slump, but many in the home crowd stood and cheered the $765 million man as he strode to the plate with a runner on third base and the Mets trailing by one run in the fifth inning Friday night.
By the end of the night on which they were selected as the Rangers’ stars of the game, Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad skated off into the offseason having played a sum of 7,231:31 together — plus another 515:44 in the playoffs per Natural StatTrick — since becoming teammates during the summer of 2017.
