The Clarke Schmot, the right -handed Clark Schmid of New York Yenkis, was scratched on Saturday against Tampa Bay’s rays from its scheduled beginning.
Left-handed Ryan Yarbro (0–0, 4.11 ERA) will start for Yennaks in the second competition of the three-game series. New York won the opener 3–0 on Friday.
Schmidt (0–1, 5.52) told reporters that on Sunday, he felt additional agony after bouncing 90 pitches of Season-Hai in No-Nine against Toronto Blue Jais. He also said that the injury was unrelated to the right rotator cuff tendenitis which delayed his season.
Yarbro on Monday scattered two hits in his last outing against Baltimor Oraoles in a 3 2/3 scorer innings, but did not join the 4-3 loss decision.
He scored two runs on six hits in 2/3 innings of a no-decision at Tampa Bay, 6-3 win on 17 April. He is 0–0 with 4.05 ERA in two relief appearances in his career vs. rays.
