Injured List Activations: Schmidt, Frankoff, Blandino

By Anthony Franco | August 11, 2021 at 10:58pm CDT

A trio of players were reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to their teams’ respective Triple-A affiliates.

  • The Yankees activated right-hander Clarke Schmidt and optioned him to Scranton-Wilkes/Barre. The 25-year-old is one of the game’s better pitching prospects, but he’s been sidelined all year by an elbow strain. Schmidt, who briefly made his big league debut last season, tossed 8 2/3 innings on a rehab assignment and will continue to build up in the minors. Because of last year’s canceled minor league season, Schmidt has still yet to pitch at the Triple-A level. A 40-man roster spot was opened when reliever Clay Holmes was placed on the COVID-19 injured list due to virus-like symptoms.
  • The Diamondbacks activated right-hander Seth Frankoff and optioned him to Reno. The move fills Arizona’s 40-man roster. Frankoff signed a minor league deal over the winter and was selected to the big league club in April. The 32-year-old made four appearances and tossed 14 2/3 innings of 9.20 ERA/5.72 SIERA ball before landing on the IL with forearm soreness in early June.
  • The Reds reinstated infielder Alex Blandino and optioned him to Louisville. Reliever Art Warren was transferred from the 10-day to the 60-day IL to create a 40-man roster spot. Blandino, who has been out since June 5 with a fractured right hand, has a .200/.317/.257 line across 82 plate appearances this season. Warren landed on the IL with a left oblique strain on July 15. He’s now out until at least mid-September.

      Hopefully Monty and Cole are back from covid soon.
      If all goes well, the rotation looks good for the playoff run.

    Schmidt will be able to pitch again as early as Monday, assuming a standard 5 day schedule. I wonder if they’d use him as an opener if Cole and Monty aren’t back yet, or if they’re just gonna build him up at Scranton for a while?

      He’ll have to build up in Scranton for a while. The Yankees are too close to a playoff spot to take a flyer on a young pitcher who hasn’t pitched at all this season.
