Schmidt will start Monday against the Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Schmidt has allowed four earned runs over 9.1 innings across his two postseason appearances, and he'll have the challenging task of keeping quiet a Dodgers offense that's posted an impressive .785 OPS during the playoffs. The 28-year-old righty will follow Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon in New York's World Series rotation.
Clarke Schmidt Gets nod for ALDS Game 3
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Schmidt will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the ALDS, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: He's the choice over Luis Gil, who will be available in relief for the ALDS. A right lat strain limited Schmidt to just 16 starts and 85.1 innings this season, but he was terrific when healthy, collecting a 2.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 93:30 K:BB. Schmidt is expected to be opposed in Game 3 by Seth Lugo.
