Bednar, 30, had an MPM of 2.37 with 17 stops in 38 rounds for the pirates. Doval, 28, has an MPM of 3.09 with 15 stops in 46.2 rounds. Bird, 26, has an MPM of 4.73 in 53.1 lanches launched.
After the Yankees 7-4 victory yesterday, they optionized the rescue launchers Yerry de Los Santos and Ian Hamilton in the minor leagues to create two list points. Stroman’s release opens the third place required to add all the entrant launchers to the list.
Stroman launched Yankees’ victory Thursday on the Rays of Tampa Bay, and was recognized for the victory when he launched five rounds and granted four points.
During the season, Stroman only made nine departures due to an injury. The All-Star twice had a 3-2 sheet in these departures and achieved an MPM of 6.23 in 39 rounds launched.

The Yankees signed Stroman to a two -year contract before the 2024 season. If Stroman launched 140 rounds in 2025, he would have had a player option of $ 18 million for 2026.
Stroman appeared in 39 games with the Yankees through two seasons and had an MPM of 4.69 and a 13-11 file.
The Yankees could have optionized the young launcher leaving Cam Schlittler to make room for the new weapons onwards, but the team rather decided to release Stroman.

Schlittler, 24, impressed during his three departures while his fast ball was in the upper 90s, sometimes touching 100 MPH. He has a 1-1 file, an MPM of 4.91 and 15 stick withdrawn in 14.2 rounds so far this season.
The current starting rotation of the Yankees consists of Max Fried, Carlos Rodon, Luis Gil (who will make his season debut Sunday after missing the start of the season with injury), Will Warren and Schlittler.
The next Yankees match (60-49) is against the Marlins de Miami (52-55) will take place on Friday at 7.10pm.
