After missing the initial days of New York Yankees' spring training, Marcus Stroman arrived on Friday and reiterated his commitment to being a starting pitcher. Stroman emphatically stated that he will not pitch out of the bullpen, emphasizing his role as a starter.
The Yankees currently have a rotation consisting of Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt, leaving the possibility of a bullpen role for Stroman if circumstances change. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledged the team's focus on developing Stroman as a starter but left room for adjustments as needed.
