With Stroman out of the picture, the Yankees’ starting staff has been one of the best in baseball. Since April 14, two days after Stroman was moved to the 15-day IL, the Yankees have posted a 2.87 starter ERA. That’s a 46-game span where Yankees starting pitchers have allowed three earned runs or fewer 39 times.

The New York Yankees' starting rotation has been without Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman. However, Stroman is on the way back, and his role on the team is up for debate.

After much delay, two injured Yankees could begin rehab assignments in the near future. That would be Giancarlo Stanton, who has yet to make his season debut after missing all of spring training with tennis elbows, and Marcus Stroman, who hasn’t pitched since April 11 due to knee inflammation.
