Yankees announced Friday that they released veteran right-handed Marcus Stroman. New York also officially adds deadline acquisition Camilo Doval,,,,, David Bednar,,,,, Jack Bird and Jose Caballero To the active lineup.
Stroman, 34, is halfway through the second season of a two-year, 37mm contract. By freeing him, the Yankees are committed to eating the remaining 5.61mm of their current dead money. They will keep this payment to minus any time Stroman spends on the MLB roster or list with another team injured.
From mid-April to mid-June, knee injury was nearly two months. He pitched poorly before landing on the shelf (12 runs in 9 1/3 innings), but better since returning, throwing 29 2/3 frames with 4.55 ERA. Stroman was at the time with a 14.8% strikeout risk, but he showed good command (7% walking rate) and kept 48% of his opponent’s batting on the ground.
Stroman’s contract contains the attribution provisions for the $18MM player option for the 2026 season, but the option is up to him to pitch 140 innings in the 2025 season. He only had 39 innings this year due to his long injury absence, so he couldn’t unlock that option even if the Yankees caught him.

Rookie of the Year Louis Gill A minor league rehabilitation mission is about to be underway after the entire season is missing due to elongated pressure. He made a start in four minor leagues, so he probably rejoined the staff’s cusp in the near future.
Although he obviously wasn’t a high-quality mid-swirl arm in 2014-23, he had a 3.65 ERA ball in over 1300 innings between the Blue Jays, Mets and Cubs, Stroman started 29 games and logged in to the 4.31 ERA for the 2024 Yankees, and in 2024, the Yankees didn’t have much choice.
