New York Yankees starting pitchers, excluding Max Fried, have had a disappointing 2025 season. Marcus Stroman had a disastrous outing against the San Francisco Giants, leading to a 9-1 loss. Stroman was subsequently placed on the injured list with knee inflammation, and Allan Winans was called up from Triple-A to fill his spot. Stroman allowed five runs before recording an out, with the majority coming from a home run by Jung Hoo Lee. Stroman was relieved by Ryan Yarbrough in the first inning. Marcus Stroman’s ERA has skyrocketed to 11.57 after three starts, indicating a rough start to the season for the pitcher.

The team’s middling record of 7-6 underscores the importance of better performances from their starting rotation.
