Aaron Boone motions to the bullpen during the eighth inning of Game Five of the 2024 World Series.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The New York Yankees added some help to their bullpen by bringing back a familiar face this week.<\/p>\n

The team designated pitcher Geoff Hartlieb for assignment earlier in the week and he opted for free agency, but quickly returned to the Bronx. The team announced that they signed Hartlieb, who ended up providing some help over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Geoff Hartlieb Replaces Injured Pitcher<\/h2>\n

As SI.com\u2019s Erin Shapland noted, the 31-year-old Hartlieb returned to the team to help replace Clarke Schmidt, who suffered an injury that is feared to be season ending. Hartlieb was a regular with the Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders before being called up for Sunday\u2019s series-ending win over the New York Mets.<\/p>\n

Hartlieb could be a long-term addition for the Yankees, with Shapland noting that Schmidt is expected to be gone for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cSchmidt was injured during his Thursday start against the Toronto Blue Jays, leaving the game after three innings with forearm tightness,\u201d Shapland wrote. \u201cHe underwent an MRI when the team returned to New York after the losing series. Clarke will likely undergo Tommy John surgery in a devastating blow to the team\u2019s struggling pitching rotation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Schmidt had been pulled from Thursday\u2019s game against the Toronto Blue Jays after experiencing tightness in his arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier on in the game, it felt OK,\u201d Schmidt said, via the Associated Press. \u201cAs the game progressed, it sort of tightened up a little bit on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Yankees had a grim prognosis for Schmidt, with manager Aaron Boone saying he may need to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n

\n

The Yankees sent pitcher Javien Sandridge down to Triple-A to make room for Hartlieb on the roster. Sandridge had been up and down between the Bronx and the minor leagues several times this season before finally making his debut this weekend against the Mets.<\/p>\n

The Yankees could have more help on the way as reigning AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil is nearing his return. As Ian Casselberry of Yahoo Sports reported, Gil is expected to start a rehab assignment soon and could be back with the Yankees shortly after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

Casselberry noted that the Yankees could have some other options to help their pitching staff until Gil returns. That could include a rapid acceleration of one of the franchise\u2019s top prospects, Cam Schlitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther internal starting pitching options for the Yankees could include Allan Winans, who struggled in a spot start but was excellent in Triple-A before being called up,\u201d Casselberry wrote. \u201cBrendan Beck was recently promoted to Triple-A, where he has a 2.93 ERA after three starts. In his 11 appearances at Double-A, he compiled a 1.82 ERA with 52 strikeouts in 54 1\/3 innings. Cam Schlitter, ranked as the Yankees\u2019 No. 10 prospect by MLB.com, has a 3.80 ERA in five Triple-A starts with an overall mark of 2.82 in the minors this season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
