Cracks ALCS roster Stroman is on the Yankees' roster for the ALCS versus the Guardians.
Impact Stroman was left off the ALDS roster but will be carried on the ALCS roster as a long reliever. The veteran right-hander posted a 4.31 ERA and 113:60 K:BB over 154.2 innings during the regular season, covering 29 starts and one relief appearance.

Doesn't make ALDS roster Stroman is not on the Yankees' roster for the ALDS against Kansas City.
Impact Stroman struggled during the regular season, posting a 4.31 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 154.2 innings. He was briefly moved to the bullpen in mid-September but returned to a starting role for his final appearance of the campaign after Nester Cortes (elbow) landed on the injured list. The Yankees aren't likely to need more than four starters in the ALDS, and the team elected to roll with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt ahead of Stroman.

Ambushed by Baltimore Stroman (10-9) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on 10 hits over 3.1 innings as the Yankees fell 9-7 to the Orioles. He struck out one without walking a batter.
Impact The veteran right-hander's contact-heavy approach betrayed him, as the O's began the game with six straight singles and grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning that they would never relinquish. Stroman is limping to the finish line on the regular season, posting a 6.59 ERA, 1.87 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over his last six appearances and 27.1 innings, and he seems likely to get shifted to the bullpen in the playoffs.

Nestor Cortes goes on injured list with ailing elbow in a blow to Yankees' postseason pitching
Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes has a flexor strain in his pitching elbow and was placed on the 15-day injured list in a blow to New York’s rotation heading into the playoffsSEPTEMBER 25 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starting in Cortes' place Stroman will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles in place of the injured Nestor Cortes (elbow).
Impact Stroman had been demoted to the bullpen earlier this month and picked up a three-inning save in his lone relief appearance Sept. 17 in Seattle. He's now needed back in the rotation, at least temporarily, with Cortes out indefinitely. Stroman threw 64 pitches in the outing versus the Mariners and shouldn't have much of a workload restriction Wednesday given that his other 28 appearances this season were starts.

Earns nine out save Tuesday Stroman picked up his second career save in Tuesday's win over the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits while striking out three over three innings.
Impact Stroman made his first appearance out of the bullpen since the Yankees announced the move over the weekend and picked up his first save since 2014, which was his rookie season. He gave up at least a hit in all three innings he pitched, including a solo home run to Luke Raley in the eighth but the game was comfortably out of reach already. Stroman should continue to operate in a long relief role down the stretch unless an opportunity opens up for him to be reinserted back into the rotation.

Moving to bullpen Stroman is moving to the bullpen and will be available in relief Sunday against the Red Sox, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Yankees will go with a five-man rotation this next turn through and manager Aaron Boone said they could go with a five-man rotation the next time through as well. Stroman figures to serve as a long reliever who could get a spot start in the final week if the Yankees are setting things up for the postseason.
SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Gets little help in loss Stroman (10-8) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings as the Yankees fell 5-0 to the Royals. He struck out four.
Impact The right-hander didn't pitch poorly, tossing 56 of 89 pitches for strikes, but Seth Lugo was dominant Tuesday and the Yankees managed only three singles in support of Stroman. He's completed six innings only twice in nine outings since the All-Star break, stumbling to a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP an d 31:13 K:BB through 43.1 innings over that stretch. Stroman will look for a better result in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Seattle.

Struggles against Rangers Stroman (10-7) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Rangers.
Impact Stroman had gone at least five innings in each of his previous four starts, but the Rangers got to him early Wednesday. This was the sixth start in a row in which Stroman didn't give up a home run, which is progress since he allowed eight long balls across the six starts before that. The veteran right-hander is now at a 4.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 105:58 K:BB over 143 innings through 27 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Royals.

Reaches double-digit wins Stroman (10-6) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two runs on nine hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.
Impact The 33-year-old picked up his ninth quality start with this 98-pitch performance despite yielding nine runs, matching a season-worst set on July 27 against Boston. However, Stroman only allowed one extra-base hit -- a Paul Goldschmidt double in the second -- as he notched his second walk-free outing of the season. This marks the fifth time with double-digit wins in his 10-year career. The veteran righty has now pitched to a 3.81 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 102:57 K:BB across 139.1 innings this season. He currently lines up to face the Rangers on the road for his next start.

Collects ninth win Stroman (9-6) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Impact Stroman was a little off Sunday, throwing 56 of 97 pitches for strikes, but he had ample run support to pick up his second win over his last three outings. He's gone at least five innings in three straight starts after doing so just two times across six appearances between June 28 and Aug. 2. The veteran right-hander is now at a 3.88 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 97:57 K:BB through 132.1 innings over 25 starts this season. His 3.9 BB/9 is by far the worst of his career, and his 6.6 K/9 is his lowest mark in a full campaign, which at least partially explains his inconsistency this year. Stroman is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals.

Blanks Tigers through six Stroman did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Tigers, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks. He struck out five.
Impact Stroman had one of his best outings in recent memory Sunday. It was his first time reaching six innings since June 22 and his fourth time this season shutting the opponent out and reaching six innings. He exited the game with a narrow 1-0 lead that eventually slipped away in the ninth and spared him a win. Stroman has now allowed just one run over his last two starts after allowing 10 combined in his two starts prior. His strikeout averages this year are one of the lowest of his career and his walks are up, but he's trending towards a fifth straight season with an ERA below 4.00. For the year, Stroman owns a 3.82 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 92:54 K:BB in 127.1 innings. He lines up to face the Rockies at home over the weekend his next time out.
