Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt (forearm) exits early vs. Blue Jays

New York Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt was removed after three innings of his start in Toronto Thursday evening due to right forearm tightness.
Schmidt gave up an RBI double to Addison Barger in the first inning and a two-run home run to George Springer in the third. He departed after throwing 55 pitches.
Schmidt started the year on the injured list with rotator cuff tendinitis and debuted on April 16. He threw seven hitless innings and a season-high 103 pitches vs. Baltimore on June 21, but allowed four earned runs in six innings in a 7-0 loss to the Athletics on June 28. Before allowing a run to the A’s in the fourth inning, Schmidt had a streak of 28 1/3 scoreless innings.
Schmidt entered tonight’s game with a 4-4 record, 3.09 ERA and 1.057 WHIP.
Clayton Beeter entered the game in the fourth inning for the Yankees, making his season debut and just his fourth big-league appearance.
