Schmidt pitches tomorrow … and other stuff from Torre’s morning briefing

Jason Schmidt will start against the Rangers tomorrow and pitch ONE inning. It will be his first start in a major-league game, other than an intrasquad or a B game, since June 2007. … They made two more cuts this morning, shipping non-roster pitchers Carmen Cali and Edgar Martinez to the minor-league side. Could have something to do with the fact they combined to give up four earned runs on two hits and three walks over a total of two-thirds of an inning yesterday as the Dodgers were blowing a five-run lead against the Mariners. … Sandy Koufax is here, but Torre said he won’t be working with any of the pitchers because he is visiting his stepdaughter who lives here and will only be in for a couple of days. Sandy lives in Vero Beach, Fla., and routinely showed up at Dodgertown to work with pitchers there.
