Marcus Stroman will not be pitching in the ALDS
Stroman did not have the most impressive season with the Yanks' as the 33-year-old made 29 starts and one relief appearance. Stroman acheived a less than stellar 4.31 ERA and a 95 ERA+ with 113 strikeouts and 60 base on balls (walks) in 154 innings pitched. The real issue began in late June, when the wheels really started to come off for Stroman. Since June, his ERA has been hovering above 5.00 which was basically there primary reason to leave him off the roster for their most important games.
