Stroman arrived at Yankees camp after causing a stir with his absence earlier in the week. He was the Yankees’ only healthy pitcher who chose not to participate in the team’s opening workouts. “I don’t think there was a need for me to be here in the last few days, given the climate,” Stroman said.

A man purse was on Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman’s clubhouse chair and a small travel bag was nearby on the rug when media entered at 8:15 Friday morning. This spring training holdout was over after two days.

Stroman clearly isn't happy about being demoted from the starting rotation, and he made that abundantly clear as he reported to New York Yankees camp in Tampa.
