Yankees' Marcus Stroman walks back starter-only stance: ‘Open to anything'
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman has changed his mind about reconsidering his role with the club. The right-hander said he would be open to pitching out of the bullpen when he returns from the injured list after declaring that he wouldn't do it just a few months ago. Advertisement 'I'm open to anything,' he said after making his first rehab start at Double-A Somerset on Wednesday afternoon at TD Bank Ballpark. With the Yankees in Kansas City, Stroman threw 3 1/3 innings, striking out four, walking two and giving up one hit and one earned run. He threw 46 pitches and touched 89 mph several times with his sinker, though he appeared to throw all of his pitches. Stroman has been on the IL with left knee inflammation since April 12. He said the problem is the ACL that he tore in college. 'There's a bunch of a little mess going on there,' he said. 'I don't really even like to talk about it at this point. It just is what it is. It's 10 years removed on an ACL.' Stroman added that he had a cortisone shot and a nerve blocker. 'It was something that I was feeling walking around,' he said. Nice ovation for Marcus Stroman, who went 3 1/3 innings, striking out four with two walks, a hit and one earned run. Threw 46 pitches. Touched 89 mph a bunch with the sinker. — Brendan Kuty 🧟♂️ (@BrendanKutyNJ) June 11, 2025 Stroman said he had been dealing with a 'crazy deep throb' and 'ache' in his knee, which has improved of late. He said he expected to feel soreness Thursday morning, but that he's learning to deal with it, and that he expects to make another rehab start next week. 'Way more confident position with my knee now than I was,' he said. It's unclear what kind of role the Yankees may have for Stroman when he returns. They have a full five-man rotation with Ryan Yarbrough lately emerging as a viable fifth starter after they moved on from veteran Carlos Carrasco. Righty Luis Gil, who played catch at Somerset on Wednesday, is also working his way back from the injured list and could return sometime around the All-Star break. Gil won the American League Rookie of the Year last year. Advertisement In spring training, there also didn't appear to be a spot in the rotation for Stroman, but then ace Gerrit Cole had Tommy John surgery, Gil strained his lat and Clarke Schmidt had right rotator cuff tendonitis. Stroman wound up making three starts before going on the IL, posting an 0-1 record with an 11.57 ERA. Stroman said he hasn't spoken with the Yankees about his expected role yet. 'Just very open to whatever it may be,' he said. Stroman had financial motivation to remain a starting pitcher going into the season. His $17-million option for 2026 would have kicked in if he pitched 140 innings this year. It's now virtually impossible for him to reach that mark this season. In February, he shot down talk of him potentially going into a relief role. 'I'm a starter,' he said at the time. 'I won't pitch in the bullpen.' Now, things have changed. 'I think everybody who has been a starter would want to be a starter,' he said. 'I think that's just natural at this point. I don't think anybody who has had a career like I've had starting would just voluntarily say … you know. But obviously we have an incredible team, you don't know how the season's going to play out. There's always a bunch of things that happen. So, yeah, I'm looking to get back to 100 percent, which I feel pretty close (to). Build my pitch count and take it from there.'

MLB Makes Historic Andrew McCutchen Announcement on Wednesday
MLB Makes Historic Andrew McCutchen Announcement on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Throughout his 17-year career, outfielder Andrew McCutchen has proven to be a special player, earning five All-Star appearances, four Silver Slugger awards, one Gold Glove and the 2013 National League MVP award. Advertisement Of course, he is mostly known for his two stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates, spanning from 2009 to 2017 and 2023 to 2025, where he has established himself as one of the most well-known players in franchise history. Now, after all these years, he continues to etch himself into the team's history, and during the Pirates' game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, he hit his 241st home run with Pittsburgh and 325th in his career. That's a lot for anyone to reach with one team and the MLB commemorated it with its own social media post, while also revealing he passed the legendary Roberto Clemente (240) for the third-most in franchise history. Clemente, who spent all 18 years of his career with the Pirates, made the All-Star Game 15 times while earning 12 Gold Gloves and sits in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He is one of the most decorated players in MLB history. Advertisement It will remain to be seen if McCutchen has enough left in the tank to continue to rise up the board, as he still sits behind Ralph Kiner (1946 to 1953) at 301 and Willie Stargell (1962 to 1982) at 475. That could certainly seem like a difficult task, considering McCutchen is 38 years old and is set to become a free agent when the season concludes. Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Either way, though, it's a fun bright spot in what has otherwise been a disappointing season for the Pirates, as they sported a 27-41 record going into their Wednesday matchup, putting them in last place in the NL Central.

Phillies' Jesús Luzardo rebounds after making changes to address potential tipping
PHILADELPHIA — Jesús Luzardo is a superstitious man, so he changed his hair this week for the third time in three starts. The cornrows, installed after a 12-run nightmare, disappeared following an eight-run outing. The makings of a mustache appeared on his face. 'For now,' Luzardo said. 'We'll see how long it lasts.' The lefty had another new thing: He stepped onto the Citizens Bank Park grass Wednesday afternoon with a bigger glove. Advertisement Whenever a Chicago Cubs runner reached base, Luzardo unveiled a new delivery from the stretch. He held his glove higher and closer to the Phillies crest across his chest. He looked more attentive to every movement he made whenever a runner was on second base. He hid the ball — and his pitch grip — better. He silenced Chicago's lineup, which averages the most runs per game in MLB, with 10 strikeouts and no walks over six innings. The lone run he allowed came after Nick Castellanos missed a catchable foul ball. Luzardo looked more like the breakout pitcher from his first 11 starts with the Phillies and not like the one who surrendered an unfathomable 20 runs in his previous two starts. 'There's a lot of things that we tinkered with,' Luzardo said. 'The biggest thing was attention to detail.' In the PitchCom era, teams no longer have to devote energy toward legal sign-stealing tactics. That means more attention on how opposing pitchers and catchers move. Most baseball people would argue every pitcher has a tell; it's a matter of how actionable it is. The sport is filled with paranoia because, as they say, baseball is like life. Rumors are rampant about teams using machine-learning artificial intelligence to analyze rival pitchers. Often, tipping is a convenient excuse for a struggling pitcher. It's hard to know how much it affects a given performance. Some pitchers would rather not hear about it unless a coach or analyst has legitimate evidence. The Phillies wondered what happened in last October's National League Division Series when the New York Mets ravaged their productive bullpen. Some harbored conspiracy theories about pitchers tipping. The team wanted to rise above that in 2025. Phillies pitching coaches have focused this season on more consistent movements on the mound. That is one way to remove tipping as a potential excuse. Advertisement Luzardo was convinced last week, following his start in Toronto, that something was amiss. He scoured video and saw Blue Jays runners on second base leaning certain ways on specific pitches. He went down a rabbit hole. He likes numbers, and he noticed a massive anomaly. He had allowed six hits over his first 11 starts whenever a runner was on second base. Opponents batted .143 (6-for-42) with a .167 slugging percentage in those situations. But, during his two disastrous outings, hitters were 9-for-10 (including two homers and a double) with a runner on second base. It was too obvious to be a coincidence, Luzardo said. As Luzardo did his research, Phillies coaches and analysts conducted theirs. Luzardo went to work with Mark Lowy, the club's 33-year-old assistant pitching coach. The Phillies weren't sure how much Luzardo was giving away, but it became clear that he was not helping matters by 'pre-gripping' the ball before stuffing it in his glove. A runner on second or a first-base coach could see it. Luzardo and Lowy, along with pitching coach Caleb Cotham and bullpen coach Cesar Ramos, tinkered with different glove positions in the bullpen between starts. They settled on one. Luzardo carried it into Wednesday's game. Carson Kelly and Justin Turner lashed consecutive singles to begin the second inning. Luzardo struck out the next three hitters — Nico Hoerner with a slider, Matt Shaw with a changeup and Vidal Bruján with a sweeping slider. He slapped his bigger glove with his left hand and looked to the sky. By then, internet sleuths had pinpointed Luzardo's tweaks. Nothing like stress testing new mechanics in a big-league game. Jesús Luzardo, Changeups (both with a runner on 2B) Old hand position is in Red outline. — Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) June 11, 2025 Maybe it didn't make a huge difference. But Luzardo was armed with the confidence that he had solved something. That can be empowering. 'Maybe a little bit,' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said, 'but I think it's more about execution than anything else.' The manager has a point. Those runners in the previous two starts had to reach second base somehow, so it wasn't all down to this specific tell. Even if he was tipping, there was something unsustainable about how the previous two outings went: Opponents had 22 hits on 30 balls in play against Luzardo. That is an absurd rate. Advertisement 'We all just knew it was a matter of time,' Kyle Schwarber said after a 7-2 Phillies win. 'I think it was kind of just a two-blip thing, right? Don't get me wrong, there's always going to be bumps throughout the course of the season. I feel like he handles it well. He studies himself, and he wants to address what he's doing wrong. That's the impressive thing about him. It was just a matter of time for him.' This win carried added importance; the Phillies clinched the season series against the Cubs. That could factor into a potential postseason tiebreaker — or determine home-field advantage in a series. Luzardo was one of the biggest reasons the Phillies captured the season series. He allowed one earned run in 12 innings over two starts against Chicago. 'It's three plus pitches,' Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. 'It's a really good fastball, a good changeup, and a good breaking ball. I mean, he did have two rough starts. That's a good pitcher.' Since the offseason trade with Miami, these initial months with Luzardo have been a learning process for everyone involved. The Phillies had high hopes for Luzardo. They are learning the 27-year-old pitcher can be pushed. He wants to be pushed. He might even need it. If he needed a 20-run horror to teach him this lesson, so be it. 'He's a really nice guy off the field,' Thomson said. 'When he gets on that hill, he's a bear. He really is.' Luzardo has emerged as someone who fits well on a team with the highest aspirations. He'll keep growing that mustache after six strong innings erased the agony. 'I don't think anyone else on the planet wanted it more than I did,' Luzardo said. 'It's a relief.' — The Athletic's Sahadev Sharma contributed to this report.
