New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt was removed after three innings of his start in Toronto Thursday evening due to right forearm tightness.
Schmidt gave up an RBI double to Addison Barger in the first inning and a two-run home run to George Springer in the third. He departed after throwing 55 pitches.
Schmidt started the year on the injured list with rotator cuff tendinitis and debuted on April 16. He threw seven hitless innings and a season-high 103 pitches vs. Baltimore on June 21, but allowed four earned runs in six innings in a 7-0 loss to the Athletics on June 28. Before allowing a run to the A's in the fourth inning, Schmidt had a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.
Schmidt entered tonight's game with a 4-4 record, 3.09 ERA and 1.057 WHIP.
Clayton Beeter entered the game in the fourth inning for the Yankees, making his season debut and just his fourth big-league appearance.

Marin Cilic questions early start time after losing in the 4th round at Wimbledon
LONDON (AP) — Marin Cilic wasn't happy with the scheduling at Wimbledon on Monday after losing to Flavio Cobolli in a fourth-round match that started as arranged at 11 a.m. local time. The 36-year-old Cilic said he had to warm up indoors as the Wimbledon practice courts don't open until 9:30 a.m. and that the No. 2 Court where his match was played was still quite soft after it rained overnight. Play on the outside courts at Wimbledon is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. (1000 GMT) throughout the fortnight, whereas matches on Centre Court and No. 1 Court begin at least two hours later. But Cilic questioned whether tournament organizers shouldn't put all singles matches later in the day in the fourth round. 'I don't like to speak about the conditions. OK, I lost and everything. I have to accept it,' Cilic said. 'But I feel bitter because why is there a need to play at 11?' The Cobolli-Cilic meeting was the only one of the eight singles matches played Monday that had such an early start time. Liudmila Samsonova's match against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro followed Cobolli and Cilic on No. 2 Court, while the other six matches were played on Centre Court and No. 1 Court. 'It's raining overnight, and the court was quite soft,' Cilic said. 'It was really difficult to play on. You just push the ball in the middle of the court, and the ball just stays super low. It was just a struggle.' Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. He lost 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3). Still, it was a relatively successful Wimbledon for Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion who was runner-up at the All-England Club in 2017. Cilic is coming back to top-level tennis after having two knee operations and then playing in lower-level Challenger Tour events this year to boost his ranking. He had to make it through qualifying rounds just to get into the bracket at the French Open, where he lost in the first round. 'I have great encouragement, happiness, positive attitude, and positive outcomes out of the tournament,' he said. 'I found great form, played some fantastic tennis. Even today was quite close.' ___ AP tennis:

Sounders GK Stefan Frei 'home resting' after injury scare
Field Level Media 07 Jul 2025, 19:49 GMT+10 (Photo credit: Kevin Ng-Imagn Images) Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei was 'back home resting' on Monday after leaving Sunday's match in Seattle in an ambulance with an injury to his head and neck. Frei, 39, collided with Columbus Crew midfielder Amar Sejdic's knee while trying to collect a free kick during second-half stoppage time in the 1-1 draw. Medical personnel rushed onto the field and placed Frei onto a stretcher before loading him into an ambulance at Lumen Field. 'I'm incredibly grateful to all the staff that looked after me and happy to be back home resting now,' Frei posted on X early Monday morning. 'What resonates is all the messages, calls and love I've received from so many of you. Thank you -- truly. It means more than I can put into words.'Instead of resuming play after Frei's injury, Crew coach Wilfried Nancy and Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer successfully encouraged officials to end the match. 'Wilfried, I appreciate what he did because the ref wasn't going to stop the game,' Schmetzer said. 'Everybody knew that the game should have been stopped. Good on him. So thank you, Wilfried.' 'I hope that everything's going to be okay with (Frei),' Nancy said. 'Our job is not easy. When you see a situation like that, again, football is not the most important. We stay positive, and hopefully everything's going to be good for him.' Frei has been minding the Sounders' net since the 2014 season. Including his time with Toronto from 2011-13, he has recorded 112 clean sheets in 371 career MLS matches. --Field Level Media
