\n There could be a scenario where Clarke Schmidt takes over for J.A. Happ in the Yankees\u2019 rotation next year should the veteran lefty starter leave via free agency.<\/p>\n

Should that happen the Yankees will be in good hands according to Happ.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did see him tonight, I was watching for sure. In spring training it seems like a really nice kid, very confident and I think that shows on the mound. He has that confidence and a little bit of that swagger. You see his stuff and how it plays and we saw that in spring and we saw more of that tonight,\u2019\u2019 Happ said following the Yankees\u2019 first intrasquad game<\/a> of spring training 2.0 at Yankee Stadium on Monday evening. \u201cI think he definitely has a bright future.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Schmidt, the Yankees\u2019 first-round pick in 2017 out of the University of South Carolina who had Tommy John that year and didn\u2019t pitch professionally that season, started against the Yankees\u2019 lineup. Happ started for the Bombers against the Yankees.<\/p>\n

With very little chance to crash the Yankees\u2019 rotation in spring training Schmidt impressed and caught the attention of the Yankees and opposing scouting departments. Monday night Clarke opted to focus on a chance instead of his first big league camp ending the way it did on March 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight to being able to have the opportunity to face pretty much the starting lineup for the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, I remember looking at the lineup card this afternoon and I was so excited,\u2019\u2019 said Schmidt, who pitched against a lineup that housed Aaron Judge, Stanton, Gleyber Torres, Gary Sanchez, Aaron Hicks, Brett Gardner and Luke Voit. \u201cIt was one of those feelings, like, \u2018This is awesome.\u2019 There is no better opportunity for me to open guys eyes. Whatever I did in spring training 1 or whatever you want to call it that\u2019s all behind me. If I want to open a door and open somebody\u2019s eyes, tonight was the night to do it. I kind of embraced that moment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Barring an injury to one of the five starters \u2014 and Masahiro Tanaka suffered a concussion this past Saturday \u2014 Schmidt might not get a big league taste this year. However, nobody knows pitchers like other pitchers and Happ isn\u2019t prone to making overstatements.<\/p>\n

The Yankees didn\u2019t deny or confirm a report that COVID-19 testers weren\u2019t at Yankee Stadium on Sunday as scheduled, but Aaron Boone said the club is doing all it can to make the players\u2019 environment safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to get into commenting on the testing each and every day about how many negatives, did we have any positives, what came in. I really don\u2019t want to go down that road right now,\u2019\u2019 Boone said Monday via a Zoom call before the Yankees\u2019 first intrasquad game at Yankee Stadium. \u201cAll I can say is we are working with Major League Baseball making sure that we are as safe as can be as expected in how we are conducting ourselves and I feel good about us being here.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton believes the testing program has gone according to the way it was set up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have gotten tested every other day. I can\u2019t speak on that there wasn\u2019t a tester here [Sunday]. I believe like everyone else that it has gone to protocol,\u2019\u2019 Stanton said.<\/p>\n

Asked if DJ LeMahieu and Luis Cessa had to test negative twice at home before undergoing intake testing in New York prior to being cleared, Boone said, \u201cI think there is a little more to it than that. There is a joint panel that has to sign off on things as well. There is obviously a couple of negative tests that have to happen and that has to be in conjunction with all the major league protocols.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Boone reiterated his confidence in the testing process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are confident in the protocols we have in place. I know there were issues with the whole Fed Ex and the Fourth of July weekend. We also feel like nothing is perfect and nothing we do is perfect but we do feel like protocols we have in place are giving us the best chance to be safe,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cWhether tests are rolling in on a daily basis every other day the fact of the matter is nothing is perfect and we are at risk every single day. If we have all negative tests that roll in today the reality is that was from two days ago. Each day we are here there is risk involved in that. That\u2019s why, the best we can, we are trying to mitigate that. We have a good system set up in place to do that and hopefully over time it proves its mettle.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

With a 60-game schedule in play for this season Boone is OK with putting a runner on second base to start an extra inning but will wait to decide if he would agree to make it a permanent change beyond this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I am OK with the rule for this year. I certainly understand and am on board with it. I do think it tips the scales to favor the home team if you do get to an extra-inning scenario. I have a lot of our guys looking at it and trying to break it down and analyze it, see if there are any ways we can best exploit it from a tactical standpoint,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cI am on board with as far as staying away from that enormously long game that every now and then happens.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
