Got a couple notes to get us started:
- RHP Clarke Schmidt faced batters today for the first time as part of his Tommy John surgery rehab, according to his Twitter feed. Steve Givarz says Schmidt sat 92-93 mph with his fastball and 82-84 mph with his slider, which sounds about right at this point of his rehab. Last year’s first rounder is expected to return to game action when the short season leagues begin next month.
- 1B Tim Lynch has been released, reports Matt Eddy. He was the team’s ninth round pick in 2016. Lynch struggled in limited time this year, but he hit .310/.368/.573 (173 wRC+) with 13 homers in only 57 games with High-A Tampa last season.
- IF Vince Conde has been released as well, the team announced. He was the team’s ninth round pick in 2014 and he spent the last few seasons bouncing around as an organizational utility man. Conde hit .206/.308/.301 (80 wRC+) in 321 games with the Yankees.
