Clarke Schmidt took the mound against the Orioles and delivered a commendable performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings in Monday's 2-0 loss.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his efforts, the Yankees' offense couldn't muster any support, saddling Schmidt with his first loss of the season. With a 3.19 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP through six starts, Schmidt continues to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations, particularly with his strong 9.9 K/9 rate. However, his elevated WHIP and FIP suggest some underlying volatility, and fantasy managers should remain cautious, especially in matchups against high-scoring teams.
