Clarke Schmidt, the Yankees’ No. 2 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, will be shut down from throwing for at least 3 weeks after being diagnosed with a common extensor strain near his right elbow.
Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said that Schmidt experienced discomfort after tossing in the bullpen last week. He added that an MRI taken on Friday showed no damage to Schmidt’s ulnar collateral ligament, which required Tommy John surgery during the right-hander's junior season at the University of South Carolina.
“It's kind of an uncommon injury; usually you don't hear pitchers getting that,” Boone said. “I think it's a little akin to a tennis elbow. We’ll get the range of motion going, get the swelling out of there and have him symptom-free. Then he can start throwing again, and they think that's probably a three- to four-week shutdown.”

Deivi García is the recipient of the 2021 James P. Dawson Award.By New York Yankees.
March 29, 2021
The New York Yankees announced that right-handed pitcher Deivi García is the recipient of the 2021 James P. Dawson Award, given annually to the most outstanding Yankees rookie in spring training.
In 5 official spring training starts, García, 21, has posted a 3.86 ERA (14.0IP, 6ER) with 14K. Over his first four spring starts, he allowed just 2ER in 11.0IP while striking out 12 batters. The Bonao, D.R., native was signed by the Yankees as a non-drafted free agent July 2, 2015. He enters the 2021 season tabbed by Baseball America as the Yankees’ No. 2 prospect and the No. 55 prospect in all of baseball.
The award was established in honor of James P. Dawson (1896-1953), who began a 45-year career with The New York Times as a copy boy in 1908. Eight years later, he became boxing editor and covered boxing and baseball until his death during spring training in 1953.
Two winners of the honor, Tony Kubek in 1957 and Tom Tresh in 1962, went on to win the American League “Rookie of the Year” Award. The Dawson Award first was presented to rookie Norm Siebern by Manager Casey Stengel in St. Petersburg, Fla., at the conclusion of spring training in 1956. New York Yankees beat writers vote on the winner.
In conjunction with the award, García received a watch from Oris.
