Carlos Rodon to Begin his Rehab Assignment on Friday
New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow, hamstring) will begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with High-A Hudson Valley, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Rodon began the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list after having offseason surgery to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, and then he suffered a minor hamstring injury earlier this month that delayed his rehab assignment. Now that the 33-year-old southpaw is ready to resume pitching in games, he could return to the Yankees' starting rotation in a couple of weeks. The three-time All-Star probably isn't available in your fantasy baseball leagues, as he's currently rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues. He had his best season in pinstripes last year, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 203 strikeouts and 73 walks in 195 1/3 innings across 33 starts. It was just the second time in his 11-year MLB career that he reached the 200-strikeout mark. The Yankees' rotation is nearing full strength with both Rodon and Gerrit Cole (elbow) nearing their season debuts.
