The Yankees' rotation was expected to be a strength entering Spring Training, but injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil have raised concerns.
Despite these injuries, the rotation finished in the top 10 in ERA and WAR in 2025, with Marcus Stroman and Carlos Carrasco as their no. 5 starters.
However, the team's performance in the ALDS was disappointing, with Max Fried and Carlos Rodon struggling against the Blue Jays, except for Cam Schlittler, who registered a quality start.
With Rodon starting the season on the injured list and Cole not expected to be activated by Opening Day, the question remains whether the team needs to add a starter.
No clear answer on adding a starter.
