When asked earlier this week about Marcus Stroman’s rehab plans while the New York Yankees were playing away from home, manager Aaron Boone admitted he didn’t really know.
As the old saying goes: Out of sight, out of mind. Now, New York Post columnist Joel Sherman asks a big question: Will we ever see Stroman pitch for the Yankees again?

Marcus Stroman has had a disastrous 2025 season
Padres vs. Braves Highlights
After a turbulent offseason in which the Yankees actively sought to trade him and he reported late to spring training, Stroman was unexpectedly forced into the rotation due to injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil.
However, after three poor starts that resulted in a terrible 11.57 ERA, a knee injury sent the veteran to the injured list, and he does not appear to be close to returning. The injury means he will almost certainly not reach the 140 innings needed to trigger his $18 million player option for 2026. That could help the Yankees finally move him if he ever proves he’s healthy.
But the question is where he would fit in the Yankees’ rotation, which has quietly adapted without him.
Will Marcus Stroman have room with so much competition?
Clarke Schmidt returned from the injured list, Will Warren has pitched much better and Ryan Yarbrough has been more than steady as a fifth starter. Luis Gil is getting closer to returning in July
There’s even JT Brubaker, a low-key project who has been in the Yankees plans since last season as he recovers from Tommy John surgery and a fractured rib
His current 30-day rehab program ends on June 16, which means the Manhattan Mules must activate him on the Major League or Minor League roster by then.
“If you add all that up, plus the likelihood that the Yankees will acquire a starter in July, the key question for the rest of the year is: Will Stroman pitch for the Yankees again? Never say never. An injury or poor performance could open up a vacancy. But since the 2026 option is no longer a factor, the Yankees may trade him and accept a low salary, spend dollars or simply let him go,” Sherman wrote.

Ben Stiller trolls Reggie Miller during Knicks vs Pacers Game 3 in latest twist to iconic rivalry
The tension of the NBA Playoffs is always palpable, but during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers, the off-court commentary stole just as much attention as the on-court action. In the middle of it all? Reggie Miller, former Pacers legend turned TNT analyst, and Ben Stiller, the Hollywood actor and diehard Knicks supporter. As the Knicks entered Game 3 facing a 2-0 series deficit, head coach Tom Thibodeau made a high-stakes adjustment by inserting Mitchell Robinson into the starting lineup, benching Josh Hart. For many, it was a calculated risk in hopes of sparking life into a faltering series. For Reggie Miller, though, it was a sign of desperation. "This should be perceived as panic," Miller said during the live TNT broadcast. "It needs to be jumped on."That commentary didn't sit […]

Premier League roundtable: The best and worst of 2024-25
Manchester City’s dominance finally came to an end, Liverpool were able to celebrate the title in front of their fans for the first time in 35 years, two of the ‘Big Six’ finished in the bottom six and the promoted clubs all went straight back down.Those might be the raw headlines from 2024-25 but this Premier League season offered so much more — this was the campaign, don’t forget, when a player got booked for imitating a seagull.Seb Stafford-Bloor, Tim Spiers, Nick Miller, Oliver Kay and Stuart James reflect on the highs and the lows as another year of English top-flight football reaches its conclusion.First, a mea culpaHere at The Athletic, we like to think we know our stuff.We analyse football forensically, can dissect a corner routine like nobody else and our writers are constantly talking to those at the […]
Neporažený Čech exceloval. Soupeři dal K.O. a vybojoval dva tituly
16-0. Tak zní bilance osmadvacetiletého Dekýše, aktuálně nejlepšího tuzemského boxera napříč divizemi, který v Polsku získal mezinárodní titul a pás WBC Baltic. „Dokud budu neporažený, tak budu vždy pod tlakem,“ uvědomuje si ostravský tvrďák, který se po dalším skalpu znovu vyhoupl světovým žebříčkem, tentokrát na 28. místo, což ho před budoucími souboji staví do ještě lepší pozice.Poláka Runowského jste ukončil v devátém kole. Byl to pro vás zatím ten nejdůležitější zápas kariéry?V této fázi kariéry ano. Bylo to takové odpíchnutí dovolit si zase trochu víc. Můj soupeř totiž boxoval s nejlepšími na světě, rval se se špičkou. Byla to zkouška i pro nás, zda se s takovou úrovní můžeme měřit. Předvedl jsem dobrý výkon a dokážu říct, že jsme dobře připraveni na to, abychom mohli vyzkoušet i daleko těžší zápasy v cizině.Předpovídal jste, že vás v Polsku a především v ringu čeká peklo. Bylo to tak i v realitě?Abych řekl pravdu, čekal jsem malinko těžší […]
Will Sunderland and the newly promoted teams fare better than this season’s instant returns?
Away from the watering eyes of their jubilant public, in the bowels of Wembley Stadium as Saturday afternoon became Saturday night, the victorious players of Sunderland walked back and forth in a state of bliss, shook hands, patted backs and roared approval.The latest of late semi-final goals from Dan Ballard that had brought Sunderland here had been replicated thrillingly, dramatically — devastatingly for Sheffield United — by Tommy Watson five minutes into added time.AdvertisementFrom 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go, Sunderland had won 2-1. From disbelieving to half-believing to sudden full belief, the fans and squad erupted.
