Yankees expect Carlos Rodón to make rehab start this week

New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón is set to make his next rehab start on Thursday or Friday after a stint on the injured list due to elbow inflammation. Rodón, an All-Star last year, struggled early this season and has made three rehab appearances. His recent outing saw him allow three earned runs in 2 2/3 innings. Manager Aaron Boone emphasized the importance of Rodón recovering well to avoid a setback before rejoining the Yankees’ rotation, which includes standout pitchers like Gerrit Cole and Max Fried. Rodón’s return could bolster a struggling offense as the team aims for postseason contention.
