<\/main>he New York Yankees’ starting rotation has taken a beating this season. Not so much on the field, where they rank a\u00a0middling 13th in MLB\u00a0with a 3.76 ERA, but on the injured list.<\/p>\n

With 2023 Cy Young winner\u00a0Gerrit Cole out for the season\u00a0with Tommy John surgery, and 2024 American League Rookie of the year Luis Gil sidelined until at least\u00a0June with a lat strain, the Yankees turned to Marcus Stroman \u2013 a pitcher they had been\u00a0desperate to trade\u00a0during the offseason \u2014 to fill one of the rotation holes.<\/p>\n

Stroman will earn\u00a0$18.5 million this season\u00a0and another $18.5 million next year if he reaches 140 innings pitched this season. But he did not exactly live up to that contract in 2024, his first season in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

After a respectable start to last season, Stroman\u00a0collapsed in the second half, posting ERA figures over 5.00 in June and August, and a whopping 8.80 in September and October.<\/p>\n

As a result, manager Aaron Boone kept Stroman off the mound in the postseason and the team attempted to unload his burdensome contract once the season ended.<\/p>\n

But the Yankees turned out to need Stroman in light of their injury problems. And then, on April 11 after he\u00a0coughed up five runs\u00a0in two-thirds of an inning against the San Francisco Giants, the 34-year-old was also sent to the injured list with a knee injury.<\/p>\n

The left knee has been\u00a0an ongoing issue for Stroman. He underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in that knee in 2015. He has yet to return from his April 11 aggravation of the knee \u2014 and over the weekend the\u00a0Yankees announced Stroman\u00a0had suffered yet another setback in his rehab process.<\/p>\n

Boone said that after a throwing session on Friday, Stroman continued to feel “discomfort” in the knee.”<\/p>\n

“He’s got a lot of treatments on it and stuff, and he just can’t kind of get over that final hump to really allow him to get to that next level on the mound,” Boone said, as quoted by the New York Post. “We’ll try and continue to get our arms around it and try and make sure we get that out of there.”<\/p>\n

If there is a bright side \u2014 at least for the Yankees in the long term \u2014 to Stroman’s setback, it means that with only 9 1\/3 innings pitched this season, and with a date for\u00a0his return to the rotation now looking\u00a0to be at least several weeks in the future, the 11-year veteran\u00a0stands little chance\u00a0of reaching the 140-inning mark.<\/p>\n
