The Yankees have not been eagerly anticipating the return of Marcus Stroman, who struggled with an 11.57 ERA before his injury. However, as the 2025 season progresses, they could use a league-average performance from him. With Ryan Yarbrough out, Allan Winans made a spot start, but the Yankees suffered a 6-1 loss to the Reds. Stroman's recent rehab outing with the Double-A Somerset Patriots was disappointing, yielding 5 earned runs over 3.2 innings, raising concerns among fans and management.
