Despite the injuries to the pitching staff, MLB insider Max Goodman of NJ.com believes the Yankees could cut ties with Stroman once he is healthy and off the IL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne option for the Yankees would be to simple cut ties with the starter once he\u2019s healthy,\u201d Goodman wrote. \u201cThey can extend his rehab journey as long as possible. Giving him extra outings while using up the maximum window for a pitcher on a rehab assignment to protect against an injury in the big-league rotation. But eventually, they\u2019ll need to make a move. And Stroman can\u2019t be optioned to Triple-A.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s either a big-league roster spot or he\u2019s headed to the open market. It\u2019s the same situation the Yankees will need to deal with when JT Brubaker is done with his rehab journey,\u201d Goodman added. \u201cThe Yankees could also try to trade Stroman again, like they did before this season and into spring training. Then again, what team would want him? Perhaps a club desperate for an innings-eater would offer up a low-level prospect for Stroman, but it feels unlikely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stroman is currently on the IL due to a knee injury and had a setback. He\u2019s in the final year of his two-year, $37 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>Before being injured, Stroman struggled as he went 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA in 3 starts, as in his last start, he allowed 5 runs in 0.2 innings.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Tried to Trade Stroman in Offseason<\/h2>\n<p>Stroman\u2019s name came up in trade rumors all offseason, but no deal happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees are still trying to trade Marcus Stroman and are willing to pay down his $18M salary,\u201d MLB insider Jon Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n<p>After New York couldn\u2019t trade Stroman, he reported to spring training and was adamant he was going to be a starter. After the injuries, he got the rotation job but struggled.<\/p>\n<p>Once Stroman returns from the IL, the Yankees will have a decision to make. The right-hander could be DFA\u2019d or released.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Stroman Has Injury Setback<\/h2>\n<p>The Yankees put Stroman on the IL on April 12, and he\u2019s no closer to returning.<\/p>\n<p>On May 11, it was revealed that Stroman had a setback with his knee, which will further delay his return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s gotten a lot of treatments on it and stuff,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIt just can\u2019t kind of get over that final hump to really allow him to get to that next level on the mound. We\u2019ll try and continue to get our arms around it. Try and make sure we get that out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Stroman was put on the IL, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the goal was to get Stroman back into form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly that last start, I think he just couldn\u2019t really step on that front side like he needed to,\u201d Boone said. \u201cI talk about how these guys are like race cars. One little thing off, and it can affect just that last level of command. Or that last level of extra stuff that you need. So we\u2019ll continue to try to get him where we need to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stroman is a two-time MLB All-Star.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
