In a recent article, Zach Kaplan of Athlon suggested a trade in which the Yankees would acquire Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins in exchange for left-handed pitching prospect Brock Selvidge and right-handed pitching prospect Cade Smith.

The New York Yankees' starting rotation may need some upgrades at the trade deadline. Clarke Schmidt's injury may force them to make a move.

One day after he was placed on the injured list with forearm tightness, it was determined that New York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt likely will undergo Tommy John surgery. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Saturday afternoon that Schmidt has a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow.
