Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman is struggling to recover from a left knee injury that has kept him sidelined since April 11. Aaron Boone announced that Stroman felt discomfort while throwing batting practice, hindering his return to the rotation. Diagnosed with knee inflammation, Stromanâs poor early season performance compounded his setbacks. As the team navigates their pitching woes, the pressure mounts on the remaining starters, since Stromanâs return is uncertain, highlighting his rocky tenure with the Yankees and the team's reliance on injured key pitchers.
Boone said that Stroman experienced discomfort in his left knee on Friday while throwing batting practice at the Yankees' spring training facility in Tampa.
Stroman wound up on the injured list April 13 after a short outing against the San Francisco Giants in which he gave up five runs on four hits.
It just can't kind of get over that final hump to really allow him to get to that next level on the mound.
Though Max Fried and Carlos Rodon have emerged as a solid one-two punch atop the Yankee rotation, the rest of the starting staff has been average at best.
