NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman had a cortisone shot to treat swelling in his inflamed left knee. Stroman went to a hospital for scans after the 33-year right-hander mentioned pain to the team following Friday’s start, when he allowed five runs and got two outs in a rainy 9-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

New York Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman took an injection in an attempt to speed up his recovery after sustaining an injury.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone pulled Stroman after the Giants batted around in the first inning of New York's 9-1 loss.
