Latest Marcus Stroman Rehab Update Has Yankee Fans Enraged
Latest Marcus Stroman Rehab Update Has Yankee Fans Enraged originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees haven't exactly been anxiously waiting on the return of right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman, who pitched to an abysmal 11.57 ERA in 2025 before going down with a left knee injury. Advertisement However, as the months go on, they wouldn't mind having him return to form, even if it means a league-average ERA and continue generating the kind of weakly hit balls in play that made him a strong starter. That was especially true after the Yankees needed Allan Winans to make a spot start Monday in place of the injured Ryan Yarbrough. Unfortunately for both Stroman and Yankees fans, his latest outing was far from good. New York Yankees starter Marcus Stroman pitches in a loss to the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium, April 11, 2025.© Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images In Stroman's Tuesday rehab outing for the Double-A Somerset Patriots, Stroman posted the following line: 3.2 IP, 10 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 1 K. Stroman threw 65 pitches, 41 of them being for strikes. Advertisement Given that he's now in the second and final year of a two-year, $37 million contract, Yankees fans expect more from the 34-year-old hurler. It feels eerily similar to what is happening across town with the Mets and Frankie Montas, who was hesitantly activated despite a series of abysmal rehab starts in the Mets' system. While Winans pitched as advertised in the first three innings of the Yankees' 6-1 loss to the Reds Monday, needing just 24 pitches to record the first nine outs, the wheels fell off the bus as his not-exactly-overpowering stuff found too much of the middle of the plate. One fan tweeted: "This is NOT good!" and another tweeted: "Omg, please keep him off the mound." Another fan sarcastically commented that manager Aaron Boone might've praised an otherwise disappointing start. Advertisement Boone did say that after his start tonight, Stroman would be "in the mix" to be activated, so the skipper will likely give an indication tonight as to whether Stroman will return soon.

Yankees' Aaron Boone Makes Marcus Stroman Decision After Athletics Game
Yankees' Aaron Boone Makes Marcus Stroman Decision After Athletics Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees took game one of a three-game set against the Athletics by a score of 3-0, and all looked good in Yankeetown. Advertisement Will Warren was solid through five innings, and the bullpen took it from there. On the flipside, the Yankees are still awaiting the return of Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman, both of whom have been out for many months. Stroman, who was nursing knee inflammation, pitched to a 6.97 ERA in three rehab starts, and fans weren't exactly crossing their fingers on a return after his 11.57 ERA to start 2025. New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus StromanVincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Stroman will be the starter in Sunday's series finale against the Athletics, manager Aaron Boone announced. It will be Stroman's first start since April 11th, and in each of his three starts to begin 2025, Stroman failed to make it through five innings, giving up three or more runs in each. Advertisement The Yankees feel they have an obligation to Stroman, who is in the last year of a two-year, $37 million contract with the Yankees signed in 2023. Before the season, with the Yankees set to have a rotation of Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Luis Gil, Clarke Schmidt and potentially Will Warren, Stroman repeatedly told the media that 'I'm a starter' and seemingly refused any possibility that he'd move to the bullpen. Stroman is getting what may be his last shot at the rotation here on Sunday, and if it goes south, he may get sent to the bullpen, although the Yankees have seen their pitching depth get challenged with a further injury to Ryan Yarbrough forcing Allan Winans to have a go.

Yankees' Cody Bellinger makes A's pay for intentionally walking Aaron Judge
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now Cody Bellinger gets it. He knows why opponents have intentionally walked — and will continue intentionally walking — Aaron Judge in certain spots, even with Judge encountering a rough patch the past two weeks. Advertisement 'Understandable,' Bellinger said. 'I mean, he's the best hitter on the planet.' The A's opted for the same strategy in the third inning Friday with Anthony Volpe on second and first base open, choosing to face the 2019 National League MVP instead of the 2022 and 2024 American League winner — who's also a clear favorite for the award again this year — in the middle of a historic season. And three pitches later, Bellinger delivered again, driving in Volpe with a single to give the Yankees a two-run lead and improving to 3-for-9 with four RBIs in 12 plate appearances following Judge intentional walks. Advertisement 'It's [the] product of a good hitter that's been around, been there and done that and doesn't get overwhelmed or over-amped,' manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees' 3-0 win to open a series in The Bronx. 'Sometimes, you want to show so bad in those situations. That can get you into some trouble. He seems to manage that really well.' Bellinger, who added another single in the eighth to cap a 2-for-4 night, has produced three singles and a sacrifice fly in those settings this year, and collectively the Yankees have gone 6-for-15 after Judge's MLB-high 18 intentional walks in 2025. Jazz Chisholm Jr., who said he thinks those situations provide 'a lot of added motivation,' has gone 2-for-4 with a homer and a single, while Ben Rice produced an RBI double in one of his two chances. Cody Bellinger rips an RBI single in the third inning of the Yankees' 3-0 win over the A's on June 27, 2025. Jason Szenes / New York Post Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Those walks will only continue over the final half of the regular season given Judge's .358 average, 28 homers and 63 RBIs. Judge remains on track to shatter the career-high 21 intentional walks he received between the regular season and playoffs last year. So far, though, the Yankees have continued to convert in those scenarios. Advertisement Cody Bellinger rips an RBI single during the third inning of the Yankees' win over the A's. Robert Sabo / New York Post They've strung together run-scoring hits in those spots. Bellinger's single — which continued his in-season turnaround following a slow start, with his average dipping beneath .200 in early May — marked just the latest. 'Especially for me, it's like, feel like that's really disrespectful to walk someone in front of me — with Cody, especially the career that he's had, to walk someone in front of him,' Chisholm said. 'I know it's Judge, but still.'
