Carlos Rodon Dazzles in Second Rehab Start, Return to Yankees Not Far Off
New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) looked great in his second minor-league rehab start on Thursday with Double-A Somerset, allowing an earned run on five hits (one homer) while walking nine and striking out eight batters in 5 1/3 innings of work. He threw 51 of his 75 pitches for strikes after tossing 4 1/3 scoreless frames in his first rehab start last Friday with High-A Hudson Valley. The 33-year-old veteran will most likely make one more rehab start in the minors early next week before the Yankees reinstate him from the 15-day injured list. Rodon has yet to pitch in the big leagues in 2026 after having surgery last October to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. With Rodon on the cusp of rejoining the big-league starting rotation, fantasy managers should check to see if he's available on your league's waiver wire. He's currently rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues. The Yankees might ease Rodon back in, but the three-time All-Star could quickly return to his solid 2025 form, in which he went 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in his 33 starts across 195 1/3 innings pitched.
