“#Yankees know they can\u2019t only worry about the Rays<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n BALTIMORE \u2014 The Yankees are 5\u00b9\/\u2082 game<\/a>s out of first place with 21 left, so it is very difficult to avoid the math.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all aware it is Sept. 5 and the season is coming to an end pretty soon,\u201d Clint Frazier said following a dreadful 6-1 loss to the Orioles on Saturday night at Camden Yards where his homer in eighth accounted for the Yankees\u2019 only run on a night Gerrit Cole pitched.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we know we are behind [the first-place Rays], but we are still competing with the others that are right behind us or tied with us right now.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Frazier said the best route for the struggling team to do is remain in the here and now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough, but we have a lot of guys capable of doing a lot of good things between now and then and we have good times ahead of us,\u2019\u2019 Frazier said.<\/p>\n

Two doubleheaders in six days bookended three intense games with the Rays and a 10-inning loss to the Mets, putting a strain on the Yankees\u2019 bullpen that led to Clarke Schmidt\u2019s big league debut as a reliever Friday night against the Orioles.<\/p>\n

In 27 minor league games, the Yankees\u2019 first-round pick in the 2017 draft made 25 starts. The righty worked one game out of the bullpen last year for Single-A Tampa and the other relief app<\/a>earance was in 2018 for the Rookie League Gulf Coast Yankees.<\/p>\n

Yet, the reason Schmidt was elevated from the Yankees\u2019 alternate training site in Scranton for Friday night\u2019s twin bill at Camden Yards was because Aaron Boone\u2019s pen was likely going to be missing big names for the second game due to workload constraints.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, Boone used Zack Britton, Aroldis Chapman and Chad Green in a nine-inning 6-5 win in the first game. Adam Ottavino wasn\u2019t available because he pitched Wednesday and Thursday. Britton and Chapman pitched Thursday and in the first game Friday, so they weren\u2019t going to be used. Nick Nelson provided two innings on Wednesday. Green had worked Wednesday and Thursday and Boone wanted to stay away from him Friday, but called for him in the ninth to protect a one-run lead and Green posted his first save of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was necessity,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of going straight from starter Deivi Garcia to Schmidt in fifth inning. \u201cWe were kind of down [with] everyone. Going in it was going Deivi to Clarke and see if we could get through it. As a starting pitcher that is a tough first big league assignment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked prior to Saturday night\u2019s loss to the Orioles where would Schmidt be used in the future, Boone put the bullpen and rotation in play.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust try to get him spots where he can impact us. We feel like he can be impactful in a multi-inning length role right now and there could be a start out there at some point,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Schmidt, who threw 32 pitches and two innings in which he gave up two runs, three hits and allowed the two runners he inherited from Garcia to score in a 6-3 loss. \u201cBut right now it is getting him acclimated. Feel like he has a chance in that multi-inning role to play a big role for us down the stretch.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Garcia was summoned from the alternate site to be the Yankees\u2019 \u201c29th\u2019\u2019 man for Friday\u2019s doubleheader. But instead of returning to Scranton, the right-hander was added to the three-man taxi squad and remains with the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go to Buffalo to play the Blue Jays and he will pitch that third day [Wednesday],\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Garcia, who has made his first two big league starts this season and is looking for his first victory.<\/p>\n

Garcia allowed four runs and five hits in 4 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings Friday night in the Yankees\u2019 victory in the first game.<\/p>\n

Pairing Kyle Higashioka with Cole on Saturday night against the Orioles wasn\u2019t part of a plan to move away from Gary Sanchez after Cole\u2019s last two starts were not good when compared to the previous six which were outstanding. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith the lefty going and DJ [LeMahieu] down, today it was an opportunity to get them both in,\u2019\u2019 said Boone, who used Sanchez as the DH against Orioles starter Keegan Akin. \u201cWith the day game [Sunday], I want Gary to catch [Sunday]. If I DH him [Saturday], I can catch him Sunday.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n

Boone said that Higashioka \u2014 a better defensive catcher \u2014 and Cole continue to build a relationship, but eventually Cole was going to work with somebody besides Sanchez like he did in the first eight starts of the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to happen at some point and wanting to get Gary in there in a day game after a night game,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The news<\/a> coming from Boone about Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton continues to be delivered in positive tones, but there hasn\u2019t been any talk about a date they will be ready to rejoin a lineup that needs their power.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudge has had a couple of good days and started to ramp up a little. I think Monday starts the real progression, a lot of baseball activities and more aggressive with the running,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of Judge, who has played one game since Aug. 11 because of a right calf strain.<\/p>\n

As for Stanton, who hasn\u2019t played since Aug. 8 because of a left hamstring issue, Boone said he continues to do baseball activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is up to 80 percent running and he is hitting off the high-velocity machines and throwing so he is possibly a little ahead of Judge,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Miguel Andujar\u2019s first two days back from the alternate site included moving around. He was a pinch-runner in the first game Friday night against the Orioles, started at third base in the night cap and was the Yankees\u2019 left fielder Saturday night.<\/p>\n

It was Andujar\u2019s sixth start in left field which is two more than he has made at third base and he went 0-for-3.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Miguel Yajure pitched the final two innings Saturday night and was sent to the alternate site in Scranton following the loss.<\/p>\n

When Jonathan Holder entered the first game of Friday night\u2019s doubleheader against the Orioles, he was put in the ninth spot in the order. So when Aaron Hicks made the final out of the eighth, Holder became the automatic runner on second to start the ninth. He scored the go-ahead run and was the winning pitcher.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

According to Elias Sports Bureau, Holder is the first Yankee to score a run \u2014 game-winning or otherwise \u2014 and earn the win in relief in the same game since Sparky Lyle, who tossed 3.0 scoreless innings and scored a run in the top of the 10th inning to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead on Aug. 20, 1972 at Texas in a 2-0 Yankees win.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
