The Yankees' rotation, initially considered one of their biggest strengths, was impacted by injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil, dampening pre-season expectations.
Despite starting the year with Marcus Stroman and Carlos Carrasco as their no. 5 starters, the rotation finished inside the top 10 in ERA and WAR in 2025.

This leaves questions about whether the staff will need to add a starter or not.
