The Yankees released Stroman on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander made his ninth start of the season Thursday against the Rays and picked up the win after giving up four runs across five innings, and it will end up being his final start with the Yankees. Stroman has a 6.23 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 39 innings this season and will look to latch on with another team for the stretch run.

Stroman (3-2) earned the win Thursday over the Rays, allowing four runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman held Tampa Bay scoreless through three innings before stumbling in the fourth, where he gave up four runs on five hits. However, the Yankees provided more than enough run support in an eventual 7-4 victory. It's been an up-and-down year overall for Stroman, who's given up eight runs over 8.2 innings in his last two outings, though he figures to remain in New York's rotation as the Yankees did not add another starter prior to the trade deadline. The 34-year-old Stroman sports a 6.23 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across nine starts (39 innings) this season.

Stroman (2-2) took the loss Saturday as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Phillies, coughing up four runs on five hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander got tagged for runs in three of his four frames while tossing only 50 of 89 pitches for strikes as he issued a season-worst four free passes. It's the first time Stroman has failed to last at least five innings since he came off the IL in late June, and in those five starts he's posted a 4.01 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 24.2 innings. He'll try to get back on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.

Stroman (2-1) earned the win Sunday over Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman delivered his first quality start of the season Sunday -- he'd blank Atlanta for five innings before eventually giving up a lone run on a Matt Olson homer in the sixth. The 34-year-old Stroman's pitched well since rejoining the Yankees in late June, posting a 3.00 ERA over four starts (15 innings) after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) in April. Stroman is currently scheduled to face the Phillies at home his next time out.

Stroman took a no-decision Thursday against the Mariners, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Just one of the hits off Stroman went for extra bases, and he was able to build up to 90 pitches in his third start since being reinstated from the injured list. Additionally, the veteran right-hander has tossed five frames in all three of these outings after being unable to complete five innings in any of his first three appearances before landing on the IL in mid-April. Stroman still has work to do in order to enhance his 6.66 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB over 24.1 innings, but New York will need him in its post-All-Star break rotation now that Clarke Schmidt (elbow) is done for the rest of the current season, and likely all of 2026.

Stroman didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mets, giving up three runs on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Although Stroman allowed a season-high seven hits, he was able to stretch out to 81 pitches in his second start off the injured list. Additionally, the veteran right-hander set a season high in strikeouts while producing nine whiffs. The Yankees will likely need him to stay in their rotation going forward due to Clarke Schmidt (forearm) going on the injured list Friday. Stroman will look to improve upon a 7.45 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:10 K:BB over 19.1 frames his next time out at home versus the Mariners, who are averaging 5.2 runs per game over their last 21 contests.

Stroman (1-1) earned the win Sunday against the A's, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman was sharp in his return from a two-and-a-half-month stint on the IL. The right-hander blanked the A's through four innings before ultimately allowing a lone run on a Willie MacIver solo homer in the fifth. It's certainly an encouraging sign for Stroman and the Yankees, after he struggled to an 11.57 ERA in his first three starts (9.1 innings) this year. Stroman is currently lined up to face the Mets on the road in his next outing.

The Yankees activated Stroman (knee) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Athletics at Yankee Stadium.

EDGE Analysis

For the first time since April 11, Stroman will be taking the hill for the Yankees after an inflamed left knee kept him on the shelf for more than two and a half months. According to Ronald Blum of the Associated Press, Stroman said that his knee pain stemmed from a torn ACL suffered a decade earlier, and the right-hander could continue to require treatment in between starts to handle the rigors of the long season. After the extended downtime, Stroman didn't look especially sharp during his three-start rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset, as he turned in a 6.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings. Stroman built up to 65 pitches in his final start with Somerset and could be operating with a light workload restriction in his return to the Yankees rotation Sunday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters after Friday's 3-0 win over the Athletics that Stroman (knee) will come off the 15-day injured list and start in Sunday's series finale, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman has been sidelined since April 12 due to left knee inflammation, and while he has struggled during his rehab assignment, his call-up is out of necessity after Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) was placed on the 15-day IL this past Sunday. Stroman coughed up 12 runs over 9.1 major-league innings prior to landing on the IL, and his efforts in the minors haven't been much better, as at that level he has allowed nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits and five walks while striking out nine across 10.1 innings.

Stroman (knee) struck out four and allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and one walk across 3.1 innings in his second rehab start Wednesday with Double-A Somerset.

EDGE Analysis

Stroman built up to 55 pitches in Wednesday's outing and may need just one more start in the minors before making his return from the 15-day injured list. His next rehab outing is scheduled to take place Tuesday, and he's slated to throw approximately 70 pitches in that appearance, per MLB.com. Despite logging an 11.57 ERA and 2.04 WHIP over 9.1 innings in his three starts with the Yankees before landing on the shelf April 12 due to left knee inflammation, Stroman could have a spot in the big-league rotation waiting for him once he's activated. Ryan Yarbrough had been performing well as the Yankees' No. 5 starter in recent weeks, but he was placed on the IL on Sunday due to an oblique strain and is unlikely to be activated before Stroman.
