It seems like the starting rotation will always be a concern for the Yankees this season. Why not, when your team got a 6.02 ERA over the past week, which is the seventh-worst figure in the league? The Yankees’ fifth starter, Marcus Stroman, is leading the concern for the team, having given up 12 earned runs on 12 hits from 9⅓ innings in the three starts. So, will he continue, considering no backups in the rotation, or is the team cooking up any further changes? Remember the time when Stroman was inducted into the rotation?
By necessity, the rotation is already held together. Gerrit Cole’s Tommy John surgery and Luis Gil’s lat issue were the only reasons Stroman, who wasn’t anticipated to be a top-tier contributor when camp started, was included in the starting five. Now that Stroman is already struggling on the mound and gave up 5 runs against the Giants on Friday night, the honeymoon between him and the Yankees is poised to come to an abrupt end.
