MIAMI — The Yankees announced on Friday that they have released RHP Marcus Stroman, making room for Luis Gil to be activated to the starting rotation on Sunday.

Stroman has not had a great season for the Yankees, going 2-2 with a 6.23 ERA and has had more bad outings than good ones.

By releasing Stroman, the Yankees are showing some promise in young flamethrower Cam Schlittler, who has been impressive in his three starts so far.

More to come.
