Clarke Schmidt Rejoins the Yankees as a Reliever After a 14-Month Rehab Following Elbow Surgery
Schmidt returns after Tommy John surgery and gives New York bullpen depth, while the Yankees open a 40-man roster spot by designating Oswaldo Cabrera.
- On Wednesday, the New York Yankees designated utility infielder Oswaldo Cabrera for assignment ahead of their game against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, clearing a spot on the 40-man roster.
- Right-Handed pitcher Clarke Schmidt was reinstated from the 60-day injured list to fill the vacancy, returning after 14 months of recovery from elbow surgery to bolster the bullpen for the postseason.
- Since debuting in 2022, Cabrera appeared in 304 career games but struggled to establish an everyday role. The 27-year-old spent most of this season with Triple-A Scranton, hitting.288 with 19 home runs in 122 games.
- The designation initiates a seven-day waiver window, allowing other teams to claim Cabrera or the Yankees to trade him. If he clears waivers, the infielder may elect free agency or accept minor league assignment.
- With the Yankees having already clinched a postseason berth, Schmidt's return provides pitching depth for the stretch run. The club holds a six-game lead over the Boston Red Sox for the first American League Wild Card spot.
