The New York Yankees have signed Marcus Stroman to a two-year contract worth $37 million, with the potential to become a three-year $55 million deal if an innings threshold is reached. Stroman, a Long Island native, is expected to fill the Yankees' No. 3 rotation spot. The move comes after the Yankees missed out on other pitching targets and reflects their ongoing search for bullpen and rotation help.
Houston Astros' starting pitcher Luis Garcia will miss the remainder of the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery, leaving the team with a gap in their rotation.

France are currently in the rotation, with Forrest Whitley potentially being the next man up. The Astros may need to look for external solutions if their in-house options fail.
