Carlos Rodon on Track for Season Debut on Sunday?
New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) is approaching the final checkpoint in his recovery from left-elbow surgery last October after he made another minor-league rehab start on Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. It wasn't his best outing on Tuesday, as he allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out four in 6 1/3 innings, but he came out of it healthy after throwing 49 of his 83 pitches for strikes. Manager Aaron Boone said on Tuesday that Rodon's next outing could be in the majors for his 2026 season debut, and it could come in the series finale on Sunday in Milwaukee against the Brewers. In his three rehab starts, Rodon has allowed seven runs (six earned) over 16 innings for a 3.38 ERA. The Yankees sent No. 3 prospect Elmer Rodriguez back to Triple-A after his second big-league start against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, paving the way for Rodon to rejoin New York's rotation this weekend. Rodon is currently rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues and must be picked up immediately if he's available on your league's waiver wire.
