Clarke Schmidt is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday, ending the burgeoning right-hander\'s season and delivering another severe setback to the club\'s starting rotation.
An MRI exam Friday revealed the ulnar collateral ligament in Schmidt\'s right elbow was torn. Schmidt underwent the exam after exiting his start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday after just three innings because of the discomfort.
