Marcus Stroman Faces Uncertain Role in Yankees' Rotation After Luis Gil Injury

The Yankees pitcher struggles in spring training as trade rumors persist and injuries open opportunities.

Marcus Stroman, previously considered for a bullpen role or trade, now has a chance to join the Yankees' starting rotation following Luis Gil's shoulder injury.
Gil's injury, which cut short a bullpen session, has left his availability for Opening Day uncertain pending MRI results.
Stroman's spring training performance has been inconsistent, including a rough outing against the Braves where he allowed four runs in 2.2 innings.
Speculation continues about a potential trade involving Stroman, with the New York Mets mentioned as a possible destination due to their own rotation injuries.
The Yankees signed Max Fried during the offseason, further crowding their rotation and adding pressure on Stroman to prove his value.
