With mounting pitching concerns on the horizon, Brian Cashman is already considering potential reinforcements for the Yankees. His list includes a pitcher who has the strong backing of Aaron Judge. Brian Cashman knows the New York Yankees could face serious challenges on the mound,

Every New York Yankees fan wanted Brian Cashman to dump embattled starter Marcus Stroman as soon as possible this offseason, but after Luis Gil's shoulder injury, the righty could wind up being a godsend.

While the Yankees didn’t have an official update on Gerrit Cole on Sunday, it was nearly just as revealing of a day about the ace’s condition as yesterday.

It has been an interesting run in pinstripes thus far for Marcus Stroman. Last season was his first in the Bronx, and despite a hot start to his tenure, it turned into what is likely his worst season in a 10-year big league career.

I’m] prepared for the worst,” Cashman told The New York Post and Newsday. “We will see how it plays out. I’m always wired to think the worst and hope for the best.”

Just when you think it couldn’t get worse for the New York Yankees, it does. The team has had a rough spring training in terms of injuries. Early in spring training, they found out Giancarlo Stanton would be unable to participate due to an elbow injury.

The New York Yankees are stuck relying on Marcus Stroman in 2025 after Luis Gil's shoulder injury, and fans of the Toronto Blue Jays know all too well just how stubborn the righty can be in a war with his team's front office.

“Overall body-wise, I felt great,” Stroman, who was taken deep by Austin Riley and Matt Olson, said during an 11-1 loss to the Braves at CoolToday Park. “Just made some bad pitches that they capitalized on, but definitely good to get the workload up, get into the third and then just kind of build from there.”

The New York Yankees are already in survival mode before the 2025 season officially begins. A string of devastating injuries has jeopardized their rotation depth and offensive power, and now, Gerrit Cole's elbow concerns seem hopeless.
