Yankees' Rotation Decision Raises Questions About Veteran Starter's Future
Did the New York Yankees 'demote' veteran left-handed starter?
Domingo Germán removed from rotation after poor outing
The New York Yankees made a surprising decision on Sunday when they removed veteran left-handed starter Domingo Germán from the rotation after a poor outing against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Germán had been one of the Yankees' most consistent starters in recent years, but he has struggled mightily in 2023, posting a 4.50 ERA in 10 starts.
The Yankees have not officially announced a replacement for Germán in the rotation, but it is likely that rookie Clarke Schmidt will take his place.
What does this mean for Germán's future with the Yankees?
Germán's removal from the rotation is a clear sign that the Yankees are losing patience with him.
If Germán is unable to turn things around quickly, it is possible that the Yankees could trade him or even release him.
The Yankees have a number of other left-handed starters who could step into the rotation, including Schmidt, JP Sears, and Nestor Cortes Jr.
What does this mean for the Yankees' rotation?
The Yankees' rotation has been one of the best in baseball in recent years, but it has struggled in 2023.
Germán's removal from the rotation could create a hole in the rotation, but the Yankees have a number of other starters who could step up.
The Yankees will need their rotation to be strong if they want to compete for a World Series title in 2023.
