Carlos Rodon Might Not Pitch in Spring Training Game
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's unsure if left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) will get into a Grapefruit League game before spring training ends, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rodon will throw another live batting practice session in camp this week. "I expect him back at some point in April," Boone said. The veteran 33-year-old southpaw threw 30 pitches in a simulated game over the weekend and is getting closer as he recovers from offseason surgery to remove a bone spur in his left elbow, but he will begin the 2026 regular season on the injured list for the Yankees. Barring a setback as he continues to ramp up, though, Rodon might not even miss a full month. Rodon is a bit riskier for fantasy managers coming off elbow surgery, but his stock is rising this spring with positive rehab reports. Durability is a concern for the three-time All-Star, but he has made 30-plus starts in three of the last four seasons and is a top-of-the-rotation arm for the Yanks when he's healthy. At a lower price, Rodon is absolutely worth stashing in all redraft formats.
