Yankees Announced Carlos Rodon Update
Also on Monday, the Yankees announced the latest update on Carlos Rodon.
He has been out since June 28 with an injury.
MLB.com wrote (on August 3): “Threw approximately 40 pitches in live BP on Aug. 3 at Yankee Stadium. Expects to be in a Minor League rehab setting for his next outing, potentially Aug. 8.”
Before getting hurt, Rodon had gone 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts.
As the Yankees make a push for the 2026 MLB playoffs, he will likely provide a huge boost when he returns.
Bryan Hoch of MLB.com wrote (on August 3): “Brian Cashman said the Yankees “shopped in that [bullpen] aisle pretty heavily, to no avail.” He pointed to Carlos Rodon and Clarke Schmidt coming back as a way of “deepening our staff that way.””
Before the Yankees, Rodon had spent time with the Chicago White Sox and San Francisco Giants.
He is a three-time MLB All-Star.
The 33-year-old is in the middle of his 12th season at the MLB level.
