Marcus Stroman got his 2025 Spring Training with the New York Yankees back on track. The controversial right-hander was at the center of last week’s drama in camp but pitched a clean inning in his first "start" against the Tampa Bay Rays at George M. Steinbrenner Field. He struck out one batter and did not allow a run.

The 32-year-old is surely itching to officially put that devastating moment behind him. The best way to do that is by doing what he does best: tearing the cover off the baseball. Well, fans will have to wait a bit longer before seeing Judge compete in a game.

The New York Yankees possess a deep start rotation, creating a situation of six starters for five spots after Marcus Stroman said he was a starter and not a reliever.
