Marcus Stroman is not on the New York Yankees' roster for the ALDS against Kansas City.Stroman struggled during the regular season, posting a 4.31 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 154.2 innings.

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.

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Ambushed by Baltimore
Marcus Stroman (10-9) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on 10 hits over 3.1 innings as the New York Yankees fell 9-7 to the Orioles. He struck out one without walking a batter.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.

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Starting in Cortes' place
Marcus Stroman will start Wednesday's game against the Orioles in place of Nestor Cortes (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list.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 through at least the ALDS. 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.

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Earns nine-out save Tuesday
Marcus 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.Stroman made his first appearance out of the bullpen since the New York Yankees announced the move over the weekend and he 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.

Yankees' Marcus Stroman: Collects ninth win
Marcus 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.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.
