Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman, who was placed on the injured list Saturday, had a cortisone shot to treat swelling in his inflamed left knee.

NEW YORK — After Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman complained of discomfort in his left knee Friday night, he received a cortisone shot and the MRI came back clean. “Hopefully get him ramped up pretty quick and it’s something that helps him moving forward,” Manager Aaron Boone said before Sunday’s game.

The New York Yankees have not had great luck when it comes to injuries early on during the 2025 MLB season. To begin the year, the Yankees have had to play without both Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton.
