Michael Alaia, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery with NYU Langone, joins New York Post Sports anchor Dexter Henry to discuss Christian Scott’s sprained right UCL after the Mets placed the 25-year-old hurler on the injured list, what can be done in terms of recovery and how doctors would decide if Tommy John surgery is the best course of action.
In the only kinda game that would be played Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, Anthony Rizzo stood near the home dugout swinging a bat behind protective netting, motioned toward the mound and said to Aaron Boone and a few coaches: Rizzo was gesturing toward Clarke Schmidt , who was warming up to begin a live batting practice session that would ultimately thrill him and the Yankee brass, make him feel more certain he is on a path to help over the last month of the season.
In the post-trade deadline period, getting injured players healthy and calling up a worthy prospect are the last ways to fortify a roster. Boone does not want to get seduced into conversations about when exactly players will return and the implications involved. Which is understood. Rosters are living organisms, changing shape persistently.
But he is on the radar now. He threw a 20-pitch session and is expected to repeat that Saturday. He then perhaps can graduate to a rehab stint and — if all goes well — be in play for the Yankees late this month.Yankees Anthony Rizzo and Jose Trevino during a rehab session on the field during batting practice at Yankee Stadium.The plan is to build Schmidt up to start. Schmidt says that is what he wants, believing he will find his way to playoff starts. And why not? He was ninth in ERA, at 2.
The least complicated return would be for Trevino , who Boone said could begin a rehab as early as Sunday. Narvaez will be sent to the minors. But will Trevino’s role change? When he last played on July 16, Trevino had started exactly half the Yankees’ 96 games. But Austin Wells has started 15 of 17 in his absence, performed brilliantly with a .316 average and .949 OPS to move into the cleanup role and become an important lineup protector of Aaron Judge.
