KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- New York Yankees right-hander Marcus Stroman allowed just one run over 3u2153 innings in his first rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, and slugger Giancarlo Stanton had another hit in his second rehab appearance with the club.
Stroman, 34, had not pitched in a game since landing on the injured list April 12 with left knee inflammation. He had struggled before that, allowing 12 runs over just 9u2153 innings covering his first three starts.
"Looks like a good step for him," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before his team faced the Royals on Wednesday night.
