Apr 26 Schmidt (shoulder) is still a "long way" from pitching in a game, reports the team's official website.
Recommendation: At this point, it's sounding like anywhere between 1-2 months before Schmidt rejoins the rotation, assuming he doesn't need season-ending shoulder surgery at some point. It's probably safe to assume the organization will target a return sometime after the All-Star break, though that's just speculation at this point. This should secure rotation spots for Brett Tomko and Mark Hendrickson, assuming (a big assumption) that both pitch well enough to keep their jobs.
