The New York Yankees are linked to a reunion with a vetran starting pitcher to help replace Clarke Schmidt who's done for the season.

The Yankees’ rotation is absorbing another significant blow with the news that right-hander Clarke Schmidt appears likely to undergo Tommy John surgery, manager Aaron Boone said before Saturday’s Subway Series game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt likely needs a second Tommy John surgery that would sideline him for the remainder of this season and much of next year, a huge blow to New York’s injury-riddled rotation.
