Marcus Stroman’s time in the Bronx has come to an end.
The Yankees released the veteran right-hander on Friday, two days before Luis Gil was set to rejoin the rotation.
Stroman is 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA over 39 innings in nine starts this season, the second of a two-year, $37 million contract.
He finishes his Yankee career with a 13-11 record and a 4.69 ERA in 39 appearances, including 38 starts.
The Yankees faced a rotation crunch with the approaching return of Gil, who is set to make his season debut on Sunday in Miami after working his way back from a high-grade lat strain that cropped up during spring training.
After releasing Stroman, the Yankees will move forward with a starting staff of Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Gil and promising rookie right-handers Will Warren and Cam Schlittler.
