Marcus Stroman Strikes Out Four in First Rehab Start
New York Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman (knee) made his first minor-league rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday against Double-A Portland and looked good, allowing an earned run on one hit while walking two and striking out four in 3 1/3 innings pitched. It was the first game for Stroman since he landed on the 15-day injured list back on April 11 with inflammation in his left knee. The 34-year-old is being built back up as a starter on his rehab assignment, but that doesn't mean he'll be guaranteed a starting rotation spot when he's back in the Bronx. The two-time All-Star let up 12 earned runs on 12 hits (two homers) while walking seven and striking out seven in 9 1/3 innings over three starts early this season before injuring his knee. Even if Stroman is able to bounce back upon his return and induce more ground balls, there's little fantasy upside remaining in his arm.
