Carlos Rodón pulled in fifth in loss to Red Sox

Carlos Rodón

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Player Stats

Carlos Rodón gave up two runs in 4 2/3 innings to take a loss to the Red Sox in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader.

Rodón looked very good while allowing one run and throwing 61 pitches through four, but his defense let him down in the fifth and he seemed to let his frustrations get the best of him while walking Eli White and plunking Jahmai Jones to load the bases with two outs. Yerry De los Santos took over then and got Ceddanne Rafaela to fly out to end the threat. Rodón ended up throwing 86 pitches, which is right where the Yankees wanted him after 66 pitches in his return from the IL and 76 pitches last time out. He’s yet to complete five innings since coming back from elbow inflammation, but with any luck, that will happen next time out versus the Padres.

The Yankees will have Carlos Rodón start Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox, with Max Fried following in the nightcap.

This obviously makes the most sense, since Fried will be coming off the IL and there’s no reason to send someone down prior to the first game, but the Yankees didn’t want to confirm anything until after tonight’s game finished.
Max Fried

NYY Starting Pitcher #54

Max Fried will start in Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox, manager Aaron Boone confirmed.

Fried missed two starts during his second absence with a bone bruise in his elbow. Boone wouldn’t confirm the order in which Carlos Rodón and Fried will start Saturday, but it’d make sense for Fried to pitch in the second game.

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón received a no-decision on Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing one earned run on two hits over four innings pitched as the Yankees went on to win 8-3.

Rodón struck out two while allowing two free passes. This was his second start since late June as he makes his way back from elbow inflammation. After throwing 66 pitches earlier this week, the veteran southpaw built up to 76 on Sunday. Rodón’s health became a bit more important for the Yankees after Ryan Weathers suffered an arm injury this weekend. He’s scheduled to pitch at home against the Red Sox in his next outing.

Carlos Rodón allowed one run over four innings Tuesday against the Orioles in his return from the injured list.

The lone run came on Coby Mayo’s homer in the third. In the second, Rodón, returning from elbow inflammation, allowed two to reach with one out before getting a likely double play ball, only for Jazz Chisholm Jr. to record no outs on the play. Rodón, though, bounced back to strike out Carlos Narváez and Jackson Holliday, with the final pitch to Holliday barely catching the corner high and outside to get overturned for a strike. Rodón threw 68 pitches tonight, which is about what was expected coming in. He should get up to 80 or so Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Yankees activated LHP Carlos Rodón from the 15-day injured list.

Rodón returns from the injured list to take the ball against the Orioles. The 33-year-old last appeared in a big league game since June 28. His activation couldn’t have come at a better time as Max Fried was just placed back on the injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow.

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will be activated from the injured list to start against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Rodón returns to New York’s rotation for the first time since hitting the injured list with elbow inflammation back on July 3. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw recorded seven punchouts over 4 1/3 shutout frames for Double-A Somerset in his final rehab tune-up last week. He shouldn’t have any significant workload restrictions in his return from the injured list and should be rostered in all fantasy formats. His return bumps Will Warren back an additional day and figures to push hard-throwing southpaw Ryan Weathers into a relief role.

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will make another minor league rehab start for Double-A Somerset on Thursday.

It’s expected to be Rodón’s final tune-up before returning to New York’s rotation. The 33-year-old veteran’s velocity was down slightly while allowing three runs over 2 2/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last weekend. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on this final rehab outing before slotting him back into their rotations.

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón will have “at least one more Minor League rehab start before being activated.”

Rodón allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. His velocity was down across the board in this one, so he will need to make some progress if he wants his next rehab start to be his last one.

NYY Starting Pitcher #55

Carlos Rodón allowed three runs and struck out four in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Rodón’s velocity was down two mph on his fastball and three mph on his slider today, so that’s something to watch. He’ll definitely make at least one more rehab start before returning from elbow inflammation.

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will make his first minor league rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rodón is finally ready to return to game action after working his way back from elbow inflammation that put him on the injured list back in early July. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need a handful of outings before he’s an option for New York’s rotation mix later this month.

Max Muncy went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in a win over the Mariners on Friday.

Muncy hit the first of four homer off Logan Gilbert; all in the third inning. The 24-year-old has homered eight times with a less-than-ideal .224/.293/.384 slash, but it’s worth noting that he’s still just 24, and there have been some good moments for the former first-round selection.

Cal Raleigh homered and doubled while driving in two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Raleigh drew a walk as well, and scored three runs. He torched a homer off Kade Morris to tie the game at 5-5 in the third inning, and it’s the 21st roundtripper of the season for the backstop. There’s nothing that he can do to call this a quality season over the final three weeks, but this is still nice to see for those who are considering using a draft pick on Raleigh in 2027.

Zack Gelof homered and tripled to help the Athletics to a 7-6 win over the Mariners on Friday.

Gelof has homered in three-straight games, and he hit the fourth and final homer of the third inning off Logan Gilbert to give the A’s a 5-2 lead. His homer was his 17th, and the triple was the second of the 2026 campaign. Gelof has looked the part as of late, and reminded why he was one of the top hitting prospects in baseball not all that long ago.

Kade Morris allowed five runs in 2 1/3 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

Morris wasn’t ever likely to go deep enough for a win, but stood even less chance when he gave up a five-spot with two of those runs coming on a homer from Cal Raleigh. The 24-year-old could work in a similar role next week, but obviously there’s no fantasy upside here.

Logan Gilbert struck out 10 and allowed seven runs in 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

Ten strikeouts is really good. Ten strikeouts and four homers allowed kinda defeats the purpose, and that’s what Gilbert allowed Friday. Even crazier, all four of them came in the fourth inning, with a pair coming from the bottom of the lineup. Coming into the year, the 29-year-old had been excellent in his friendly home surroundings. The 2026 season has seen several clunkers like this as seen in an ERA of 3.99 at home compared to 2.70 away. He’ll try and get back on track against the Rangers in Seattle on Thursday.

Kyle Tucker homered and scored twice in a win over the Nationals on Friday.

It was Tucker’s first homer since August 8, and just the 12th of the season for the 29-year-old. It hasn’t hurt the Dodgers much, but Tucker has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball in his first season in Los Angeles with a slash of just .226/.327/.359.

Blake Snell went six scoreless and struck out seven to pick up a win in the Dodgers’ 5-3 win over the Nationals on Friday.

Snell threw 100 pitches, and 65 of those landed for strikes. It wasn’t as dominant as his start last weekend against the Tigers when he whiffed 10, but he was just as effective, if not more so. The 33-year-old has been sensational when healthy enough to pitch in 2026, and his ERA is now at a healthy 1.97. Obviously, Snell has to be in fantasy lineups for Wednesday’s scheduled start at home versus the Reds.

Jackson Kent gave up four runs — three earned — to the Dodgers over five innings in a loss for the Nationals on Friday.

Kent gave up three runs in the third and an unearned one in the fourth. The 23-year-old was excellent in his previous outing against the Marlins with seven innings of one-run baseball, but he didn’t face the Marlins in this one. Kent walked four, struck out four and has looked mediocre — at best — thus far in his limited MLB action. He’ll take a 5.55 ERA into a start scheduled for Wednesday against the Padres.

Luis Campusano hit a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Padres a 3-2 win over the Yankees on Friday.

Campusano also singled. The 27-year-old continued his strong campaign at the plate by taking Paul Blackburn deep in the bottom of the 10th to give the Padres a much-needed win in their quest to clinch one of the final postseason berths in the National League. He’s been limited to just 56 games, but in those contests he’s now hit six homers, driven in 25 runs and slashed .283/.364/.465. You can do a heck of a lot worse than that.
