Yankees expect Carlos Rodon to throw full bullpen session this week

Carlos Rodon is making progress in his recovery from left elbow inflammation and may participate in a full bullpen session this week. The veteran left-hander recently received a second round of PRP injections after throwing 10 pitches off the mound on Friday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about Rodon's condition before Sunday's doubleheader. With Rodon sidelined for about two weeks, he will need multiple bullpen sessions before being cleared to face hitters. He is not expected to rejoin the Yankees' rotation until mid-to-late August.
