The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt on the 15-day injured list Friday with tightness in his right forearm.

Schmidt, 29, had an MRI exam Friday after being removed from Thursday's game at Toronto after three innings. He allowed three runs and four hits and two walks with one strikeout in the 8-5 loss.

He is 4-4 with a 3.32 ERA through 14 starts. He has struck out 73 batters and walked 30 in 78 2/3 innings.

Schmidt is 23-24 with a 3.82 ERA in 97 career games (67 starts) since making his debut with the Yankees in 2020.

New York also recalled right-hander Scott Effross and left-hander Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Right-hander Clayton Beeter was optioned to Triple-A after Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.
