Rodon's Return: Yankees Pitcher Set for Rehab Start

New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon is set to take the mound for a rehab start this Saturday, signaling a significant step in his recovery from left-elbow inflammation. This upcoming appearance, likely in Triple-A, follows Rodon's recent 40-pitch live batting practice session. He has been on the Injured List since June 28th, when he last pitched five scoreless innings against the Boston Red Sox.

Rodon's return will further solidify the Yankees' formidable pitching rotation, which has performed well despite other significant injuries this season. While his season statistics show a 3.30 ERA over 46.1 innings in nine starts, his proven track record, including a strong 2025 season, suggests he can be a reliable contributor down the stretch. His addition would create one of baseball's deepest rotations, potentially enhancing the Yankees' postseason aspirations.
