Schmidt was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Schmidt will presumably join the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever in the short term. Domingo German didn't fare well in his season debut Thursday against the Astros, so it's possible Schmidt could get spot starts going forward. Schmidt has a 4.15 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 17.1 innings at Triple-A and has a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 24 innings in the majors.
