Yankees’ Clarke Schmidt seeking second opinion on ‘concerning’ elbow injury
NY Post
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Clarke Schmidt’s elbow injury hasn’t gone away and now the right-hander is seeking a second opinion on the common extensor tendon strain he suffered in February, which was likened to tennis elbow at the time.
The injury is on the opposite side of the UCL, so it’s thought to be unrelated to the 25-year-old’s Tommy John surgery and Aaron Boone still doesn’t believe surgery is an option or that Schmidt’s season is in jeopardy. Still, Boone acknowledged “it’s at least concerning enough that we expected him to start a throwing program several weeks ago.”More Related News
