Overview

  • The Yankees' rotation depth is being tested, with Marcus Stroman stepping into a more prominent role alongside Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt.
  • Manager Aaron Boone and GM Brian Cashman are exploring internal lineup adjustments and potential alternatives to address these injuries as Opening Day approaches.
