The right-hander has a vesting option for next season if he reaches 140 innings this season. With the injury now to Luis Gil, Stroman could very well hit that.

Marcus Stroman got off to a bad start against the Atlanta Braves in spring training, and Yankees fans are worried about his performance.

“Overall body-wise, I felt great,” Stroman, who was taken deep by Austin Riley and Matt Olson, said during an 11-1 loss to the Braves at CoolToday Park. “Just made some bad pitches that they capitalized on, but definitely good to get the workload up, get into the third and then just kind of build from there.”
