Marcus Stroman Expected To Work Out In Camp On Sunday
Marcus Stroman did not work out in camp on Friday, but is expected to appear on Sunday. No reason was given for his absence on Friday. In 32 starts in 2019 between Toronto and New York, Stroman compiled 159 strikeouts in 184 1/3 IP while posting a 3.22 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. While his 2019 metrics suggest some regression for 2020, Stroman makes for an excellent option in mixed leagues as a back-end fantasy starter.

Marcus Stroman Still Dealing With Knee Discomfort
Marcus Stroman (knee) is still dealing with discomfort in his left knee. The 33-year-old has been sidelined with left knee inflammation for the past two weeks and has been on the 15-day injured list. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but since he continues to face limitations, his return window will likely be pushed back. Through his three starts of the season (nine 1/3 innings), the right-hander has held a high 11.57 ERA with a 2.04 WHIP. During this stint, he has struck out seven batters but has also served up seven free passes. Last season, Stroman struggled as well, as he posted a 4.31 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP. While Stroman remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Will Warren and Carlos Carrasco to remain in the rotation.

Marcus Stroman Receives Cortisone Shot
Marcus Stroman (knee) received a cortisone shot in his swollen knee. Manager Aaron Boone noted that he hopes Stroman's timeline is not "too long." The Yankees placed Stroman on the 15-day injured list on Saturday following his outing on Friday evening. On Friday, Stroman allowed four hits, three walks, and five earned runs across just 2/3 innings of work against the Giants. After the contest, Stroman said that his knee was bothering him during this outing. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status but should expect him to miss at least the next two weeks of action. When he does return, Stroman may not be guaranteed a spot in the rotation as he has allowed four or more runs in two of his three starts this season. As a result, he is not worth stashing in any standard format.

Marcus Stroman Placed On 15-Day Injured List
Marcus Stroman (knee) on the 15-day injured list due to right knee inflammation. In a corresponding move, the Yankees promoted right-handed pitcher Allan Winans to the MLB roster. Stroman struggled in his start on Friday evening against the Giants and noted that his knee was bothering him during this outing. He was only able to tally two outs and allowed four hits and five earned runs. He allowed a home run to outfielder Jung Hoo Lee and served up three free passes. During his first two starts of the season, Stroman logged eight 2/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs and posted a 4:6 BB:K. With Stroman hitting the injured list, fantasy managers should expect Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) to take his spot in the rotation when he is cleared to return next week.

Marcus Stroman Undergoes X-Rays On Left Knee
Marcus Stroman (knee) went for X-rays on his left knee after being pulled in the first inning of Friday's 9-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants. According to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Stroman was sent for testing on his left knee and said his knee was "bugging" him. This could explain Stroman's poor performance on Friday. The 33-year-old allowed five earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one over 2/3 of an inning in Friday's loss. Stroman owns an 11.57 ERA, 2.04 WHIP, and a 7:7 K:BB over his first three starts. He is considered day-to-day for now, and his availability won't be known until the X-ray results are available. Fantasy managers can move on from Stroman in most leagues.
