Yankees Reassign Elmer Rodriguez to Minor-League Camp
The New York Yankees announced on Monday that they reassigned right-handed pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez and outfielder Spencer Jones to minor-league camp. Rodriguez, who is the team's No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he could be one of the top arms considered if the Yankees have any openings in their rotation down the road. The 22-year-old allowed two runs with five strikeouts and one walk in his two Grapefruit League starts over six innings. The former Boston Red Sox farmhand broke out in three minor-league stops in 2025, posting a 2.58 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 176:57 K: BB in 150 innings over 27 outings (26 starts). Rodriguez features a sinker, sweeper, and curveball and is already one of the best young ground-ball pitchers with improving control. He's a name to monitor in deeper single-year formats in 2026.
