Carlos Rodon To Continue Throwing While On Injured List
1 year agoNew York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (hamstring) landed on the injured list on Monday for the second time this year with a "low-grade" left hamstring strain, according to manager Aaron Boone. Rodon wanted to pitch through the injury, but the Yankees made the final call to put him on the IL. However, he will continue throwing off flat ground and could potentially only miss the minimum of 15 days. Rodon's season was delayed due to a forearm strain and back discomfort after he signed a six-year, $162 million deal in free agency. The 30-year-old southpaw didn't make his season debut until July 7, and he has a poor 7.33 ERA with 25 K's and 18 walks in his six starts this year. Needless to say, Rodon has been a big fantasy bust in his first year in the Bronx. Randy Vasquez will likely fill in for Rodon in the rotation while he's out.
