Marcus Stroman: Everything you need to know

The Yankees released Stroman on Friday. The right-hander made his ninth start of the season Thursday against the Rays and picked up the win after giving up four runs across five innings, and it will end up being his final start with the Yankees. Stroman has a 6.23 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across 39 innings this season and will look to latch on with another team for the stretch run.

Stroman (3-2) earned the win Thursday over the Rays, allowing four runs on six hits over five innings. He struck out three. Stroman held Tampa Bay scoreless through three innings before stumbling in the fourth, where he gave up four runs on five hits. However, the Yankees provided more than enough run support in an eventual 7-4 victory. It's been an up-and-down year overall for Stroman, who's given up eight runs over 8.2 innings in his last two outings, though he figures to remain in New York's rotation as the Yankees did not add another starter prior to the trade deadline. The 34-year-old Stroman sports a 6.23 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 26:16 K:BB across nine starts (39 innings) this season.

Stroman (2-2) took the loss Saturday as the Yankees fell 9-4 to the Phillies, coughing up four runs on five hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four. The right-hander got tagged for runs in three of his four frames while tossing only 50 of 89 pitches for strikes as he issued a season-worst four free passes. It's the first time Stroman has failed to last at least five innings since he came off the IL in late June, and in those five starts he's posted a 4.01 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 24.2 innings. He'll try to get back on track in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rays.
