Yankees Hope Carlos Rodon Can Throw Off Flat Ground Friday
2 years agoThe hope is that New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back) can resume throwing off flat ground on Friday after having a cortisone injection in his back on Tuesday. If everything goes as planned, Rodon could be pitching in the majors six weeks after he resumes throwing, which would put him back on June 23. Meanwhile, his elbow is said to feel great. The issue has been Rodon's back, which has caused stiffness, prohibited a full range of motion and limited his velocity. It's not a chronic back issue, but fantasy managers may be worried about it affecting him the rest of the way when he finally makes his 2023 debut. The 30-year-old has shown in recent seasons that he can be a fantasy ace when healthy, but the problem is he hasn't been healthy so far in his first year in the Bronx.
