Overview

  • Marcus Stroman has been activated from the injured list to start Sunday’s finale against the Oakland Athletics, replacing Allan Winans in the rotation.
  • His left knee inflammation traces back to a torn ACL from 2015 and has required ongoing maintenance and mechanical adjustments during his rehab assignment.
  • Stroman posted an 11.57 ERA in three big-league starts this season and a 6.97 ERA over three Double-A rehab outings.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he will assess Stroman’s command of both sides of the plate and the crispness of his full seven-pitch mix in his return.
  • The Yankees’ rotation has maintained a 3.39 ERA (fifth-best in MLB) despite losing Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil and Ryan Yarbrough for the season, placing extra pressure on Stroman in the final year of his $37 million contract.
