Marcus Stroman Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Left Knee Inflammation, Expected Return in May

Marcus Stroman's absence due to knee inflammation could impact the Yankees' pitching rotation. He has pitched in three games this season, recording an ERA of 11.57 and a WHIP of 2.04. The team will need to rely more on pitchers like Carlos Rodón and Max Fried during his recovery.

Stroman's last reported injury was in early April, which also involved his left knee. The Yankees' upcoming game against the Athletics on May 9 will be affected by his absence. Other starting pitchers like Clarke Schmidt and Will Warren may see more opportunities to start in the rotation.
