Schmidt, 29, also underwent the procedure in 2017. The 2017 first-round pick had a 3.32 ERA in 14 starts this season.
“He’s become a really, really good starting pitcher in this league,” Boone said last week. “So it’s a tough blow. Every team has their share of these things that happen, and we’ve got to be able to absorb it and hopefully get some guys back in the mix soon and create another opportunity for somebody else to hopefully step in and pick up the slack.”
Yankees ace right-hander Gerrit Cole also underwent Tommy John surgery in March.
ESPN’s Jorge Castillo contributed to this report.
