He has been out since June 28 with an injury.
This week, the Yankees announced the latest update on Rodón.
MLB.com wrote (on July 30): “Faced hitters July 29 with Double-A Somerset, a “two up” session of approximately 30 pitches. “By all accounts, it went well,” manager Aaron Boone said July 30. Unclear if next outing will come in a Minor League rehab game, Boone said.”
According to the site, Rodón could return to action next month.
He is currently 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine games this year.

Rodón has gone 97-74 with a 3.72 ERA in 240 games (235 starts).
