Marcus Stroman of the New York Yankees recently received a cortisone shot to alleviate inflammation in his left knee after experiencing pain following a poor outing against the San Francisco Giants. Manager Aaron Boone shared that while the MRI results were encouraging, the swelling could hinder Stroman's performance. He is now on the 15-day injured list, raising questions about the impact of the rainy conditions during his last start on his knee issues.

Stroman's struggles this season have been notable, as he has yet to secure a win, posting a staggering 11.57 ERA across three starts. The Yankees are hopeful that the cortisone shot will allow him to return quickly. As he approaches his 34th birthday, questions about his future contract options loom, particularly since his deal includes a conditional player option for 2026 if he reaches 140 innings this season.
