Yankees' Clarke Schmidt: Promoted to Double-A

Schmidt was promoted to Double-A Trenton on Thursday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

While he had an injured list stint for an undisclosed injury in the middle of the season, this has been a fantastic coming-out party for Schmidt on the whole. He logged a 3.84 ERA, 2.88 FIP, 1.31 WHIP and 69:24 K:BB in 63.1 innings at High-A Tampa. If he can prove fairly durable going forward and slightly improve his fastball command, Schmidt could develop into a quality big-league starter. He could reach the majors next year.
