Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he expects Schmidt (elbow/forearm) to play catch Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Schmidt's live batting practice session Tuesday was cut short due to cramping in his forearm, but the issue doesn't seem to be serious enough to warrant pausing his throwing program entirely. Assuming he gets through Thursday's round of catch without any issues, he'll throw a bullpen session over the weekend and could resume facing live hitters shortly afterward.
