Marcus Stroman arrived at Yankees camp on Friday morning after missing the first two days of spring training, a situation that sparked some early speculation

Stroman arrived at Yankees camp after causing a stir with his absence earlier in the week. He was the Yankees’ only healthy pitcher who chose not to participate in the team’s opening workouts. “I don’t think there was a need for me to be here in the last few days, given the climate,” Stroman said.

Marcus Stroman, whom the Yankees tried to trade this offseason with the veteran being the projected odd man out of the rotation, had until Feb. 22 to report to camp under CBA rules.
