Overview

• Stroman made his first start since April 11 on June 29, allowing one run and three hits over five innings in New York’s 12-5 win at Yankee Stadium
• He had been sidelined by left knee inflammation that landed him on the injured list after completing just three early-season starts
• Before rejoining the big league rotation, Stroman logged three rehab outings with Double-A Somerset, including a final tune-up that tested his endurance
• His return provides critical depth as the Yankees cope without Ryan Yarbrough on the injured list and await the recoveries of Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil
• In the final year of a two-year, $37 million deal, Stroman’s effective outing boosts his case for future contract discussions
