Fantasy Impact:

The timing of Schmidt's surgery likely puts his 2026 season in jeopardy as pitchers usually require at least 14 months of recovery time. It's a big blow for the Yankees as the 26-year-old posted a 2.85 ERA in 16 starts last season and worked to a solid 3.32 ERA across 14 starts before undergoing the knife this season.
