Carlos

Rodón

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The 33-year-old southpaw finally appears to be making tangible strides in his return from the left elbow inflammation that has had him shelved since the start of July. He’s still expected to need at least one minor league rehab start before he’s cleared to rejoin the Yankees’ rotation.

Rodón would likely face hitters once or two before beginning what should be a fairly brief rehab assignment. He’s been on the IL since July 3 with elbow inflammation.
