NEW YORK -- Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman had a cortisone shot to treat swelling in his inflamed left knee.
Stroman went to a hospital for scans after the 33-year right-hander mentioned pain to the team following Friday's start, when he allowed five runs and got two outs in a rainy 9-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants.
"The MRI was good, but he had some swelling in there somewhere," manager Aaron Boone said Sunday, "So try to eliminate that, hopefully get him ramped up pretty quick and, hopefully, something that really helps him move it forward.
