Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt goes on injured list and heads for scan of forearm
A 29-year-old right-hander, Schmidt was set to have an MRI on Friday.
New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Right-hander Clayton Beeter had been optioned to the RailRiders after replacing Schmidt on Thursday night and taking the loss in the 8-5 defeat as the Yankees were swept in a four-game series and dropped out of the AL East lead.
Schmidt allowed three runs, four hits that included George Springer's two-run homer and two walks. He said he's been dealing with soreness in his arm since his June 4 outing against Cleveland.
'Earlier on in the game it felt OK,' Schmidt said. 'As the game progressed it sort of tightened up a little bit on me. I felt like the whole night I was kind of guarding it a little bit on the breaking balls, really not ripping them or trying to get a lot behind them.'
Schmidt, who had Tommy John surgery in May 2017, is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts. He left a June 21 start against Baltimore after throwing a career-high 103 pitches in seven hitless innings, part of a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.
'Any time you're getting an MRI on your forearm, or whatever the body part is, you're not feeling happy about it,' Schmidt said. 'I'm praying everything is going to be clean and minor. We'll see what happens.'

Create Account With the visiting Los Angeles Angels in town to complete Toronto's current seven-game homestand, the team won't be back at Rogers Centre until after the all-star break. When they do reconvene following baseball's mid-summer classic, the Jays will play host to the San Francisco Giants followed by a return visit from the New York Yankees, who were swept out of town Thursday with all four games played under a playoff backdrop. Only the Houston Astros and Detroit Tigers have a better home record than the Blue Jays, who opened their three-game set against the Angels sporting a 29-16 record. The Jays are 20-22 away from home, a record that must improve for this team to be considered legitimate. Prior to the Angels' visit, the Jays played 14 series at home, which began when Baltimore came to town in the season opener when the atmosphere turned morbid in the aftermath of a 12-2 loss to the Orioles.

In total, series sweeps against the San Diego Padres, Athletics and Yankees were recorded. Series losses were counted when Seattle came to town, followed by Cleveland, Tampa, Detroit and the Chicago White Sox. The Jays then posted series wins against Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia and Arizona. The team's longest homestand was nine games, a stretch that saw Toronto drop back-to-back series against the Rays and Tigers before earning a 5-4 record during its extended stay at home by sweeping the Padres in a three-game set. By far the most electric series involved the Yankees, while the most disconcerting came against the lowly ChiSox. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Still, the way the team has played at home and the way fans have supported the club have evoked memories of 2016, which coincidentally was the last time the Blue Jays won a post-season series. Entering this weekend's series against the Angels, the Jays have averaged a home crowd of 30,449, 12th-best in baseball. Fan support promises to strengthen, provided the Blue Jays continue their winning and entertaining ways. Looking into the future, the Jays will wrap up the season at home with a six-game homestand against Boston and Tampa. Plenty of games remain to be played in the interim and plenty of moves are likely to be engineered as baseball's July 31 trade deadline approaches. Pitching is one area that could use a jolt. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. With Max Scherzer scheduled to make the start Saturday, it will be his third outing in Toronto and fourth overall with the Blue Jays as the veteran right-hander and certain hall of famer continues to manage a troublesome thumb. In his most recent outing, Scherzer struck out seven, while allowing two runs in 5.0 innings Monday against the Bronx Bombers. He was lifted after just 71 pitches. Following the game, the Jays said Scherzer was dealing with fatigue in his thumb. Bowden Francis remains on the injured list, while Alek Manoah's road back from elbow surgery will involve throwing an additional live bullpen session before getting into rehab games. Barring any setback, Manoah appears to be closing in on real action. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Offensively, the Jays have used home cooking to feast on their opposition as evidenced by the sweep of the Yankees when multi-homer games were recorded by George Springer (twice) and Davis Schneider. Runs have been produced in abundance at home and yet the Jays continue to be without Anthony Santander, the team's big off-season acquisition who left Baltimore in free agency. The hope was Santander would provide that middle-of-the-order bat for the Blue Jays. Of his six homers, three have come at home. Santander (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 30. In a clerical move the Jays made Friday, Santander was transferred to the 60-day IL. Read More Keep in mind no one expected the switch-hitting slugger to be back before the all-star break. Santander, 30, signed a five-year, US $92.5-million deal with the Jays after setting career highs in homers (44) and RBI (102) last season with the Orioles. In 50 games with the Jays, Santander has struggled mightily at the plate. And yet the Blue Jays keep winning, especially at home.

Raducanu frustrated by racket tension problem in Wimbledon loss to Sabalenka
LONDON (AP) — Emma Raducanu expressed frustration with having to get a couple of her rackets re-strung during her third-round loss to top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon on Friday. The British player let leads slip in both sets of her 7-6 (6), 6-4 loss at Centre Court with the retractable roof closed. 'I felt like the ball was flying. I had all my rackets strung up fresh for the match, and it just felt like it was pinging completely different,' Raducanu said. 'It could have been a little bit because the roof was on. I sent a couple rackets to be re-strung. 'But it takes, like, 20 minutes by the time they turn it over. Still, it was a bit difficult. So I'm frustrated with that part maybe, small details. But I don't think I could have made different choices. I think I should have just executed better.' Sabalenka agreed 'the balls were flying more,' she suspected, because of higher humidity with the roof closed. The three-time Grand Slam champion said her team typically has extra rackets ready. 'They always have like two extra rackets with the higher tension and two extra rackets with lower tension. They prepare it. You don't have to wait for another racket,' Sabalenka said. 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. Sabalenka said she lost in the 2023 French Open semifinals to Karolina Muchova 'because I didn't have racket' with the right tension. 'We weren't prepared. I didn't have a right tension. I had to play with a lower tension. I didn't control the ball, didn't feel well,' she said. 'After that experience,' she continued, 'we learned it's four extra rackets in my team's bag just in case. You never know. You can wake up and feel great with one tension. Another day you wake up and you don't feel at all. You got to be prepared.' ___ AP tennis:

Double repeat as Kartusch and McDonald retain amateur golf titles
It was an exciting case of deja vu for Addison Kartusch and Allan McDonald. The reigning champions of the Diamond Athletic Manitoba Women's Amateur and provincial Men's Mid-Amateur held off some stiff competition to claim their second consecutive titles Friday afternoon at St. Charles Country Club. Kartusch, 18, ended up pulling away for an eight-stroke victory following rounds of 73-70-74 which left her at one-over par for the 54-hole event. Minnedosa's Clara Peake (76-70-79) and Killarney's Cala Korman (76-72-77) finished tied for second. GOLF MANITOBA PHOTO Allan McDonald (left) and Addison Kartusch both repeated as champions in the provincial Men's Mid-Amateur and Manitoba Women's Amateur golf tournaments on Friday at St. Charles. 'It was pretty special to play on my home course,' Kartusch said. 'It was nice to play the way I wanted to and the way I know I could here.' At one point Friday, her lead over Peake was down to a single stroke but Kartusch quickly got her game back in order and stepped on the gas. 'I kind of went back to the basics with my swing and got the rhythm flowing, I felt that produced some better shots,' she said. Kartusch, a talented hockey player who skated for St. Mary's, just finished her first year at Bowling Green State University in Ohio where plenty of valuable lessons were learned. 'It just put it into perspective that I have a lot more golf shots to hit and a lot more tournaments to play in. One tournament does not define who I am,' she said. 'I think I have improved overall as a golfer. Overall I just hit some way better shots this year and consistency of ball striking was better.' Next up: Defending her Manitoba Junior title in a three-day event which begins Monday at Quarry Oaks. As for McDonald, he rebounded from a tough opening-round 75 by shooting 68 on Thursday and 71 on Friday and finishing at two-under par. That left him two strokes in front of Breezy Bend's Eric Johnson (74-72-70). 'It feels good. I've been always under the belief that you're not a champion unless you defend it,' said McDonald, who plays out of Breezy Bend. 'Anyone can have one good year. But we all know how golf is. You can be hot one year and just not there the next year.' The 33-year-old, who also won the event in 2020, said he never felt comfortable with his accuracy off the tee at St. Charles but was able to manage that during the tournament — especially against a deep field which made every shot count.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 'It's hard to defend. But just happy I could get it done,' he said. Four players finished three shots behind McDonald and tied for third — second-round leader Jeremy Kirk of Thunder Bay (70-72-75), Drew Jones of Shilo (70-75-72), Curtis Markusson of St. Charles (72-72-73) and Patrick Perrin of Elmhurst (69-77-71), who previously won the event in 2023. One of the province's most decorated amateur golfers, Todd Fanning, had the round of the tournament on Thursday with a six-under 66. However, it was book-ended by rounds of 78 and 77, which ultimately left him in ninth spot overall in the 69-player field.
