Yankees' Marcus Stroman Receives Cortisone Shot for Knee Inflammation

New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman received a cortisone shot for inflammation in his left knee after reporting discomfort following a poor performance against the San Francisco Giants. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that while the MRI results were clean, there was swelling that needed to be addressed, and he expressed hope that Stroman would recover quickly. Stroman has struggled this season, holding an 11.57 ERA over 9.1 innings, and was placed on the 15-day injured list after the incident. Boone noted he was uncertain if the knee issue had been affecting Stroman's performance or if it was exacerbated by the rainy conditions during the game. The Yankees are dealing with rotation depth challenges and are eager for Stroman's swift return. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton continues to recover from elbow issues, with no clear timeline for his return to play.
