Yankees Release Marcus Stroman After Bolstering Their Pitching Staff
New York – The New York Yankees, after an active Trade Deadline, have made the decision to release right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman.
This measure comes after the team reinforced its pitching staff, seeking to optimize its performance in the season.
Stroman, who was in his second season with the Yankees, was the starter in Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, earning the win despite allowing four runs and six hits in five innings.
In the current campaign, the pitcher recorded a 3-2 record with an ERA of 6.23 in nine starts. He accumulated 26 strikeouts and a WHIP of 1.54.
His performance, added to the recent additions to the bullpen, seems to have influenced the decision of his release.
The 34-year-old right-hander came to the Yankees in 2024, where he had a 10-9 record with a 4.31 ERA in 30 appearances, 29 as a starter.
His time in the Bronx comes to a close, having brought experience and depth to the rotation at crucial moments.
With this move, the Yankees continue to adjust their roster in search of strengthening their aspirations in the final stretch of the season.
