Carlos Rodón News
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was bombarded for eight runs before recording a single out in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Talk about an ugly curtain call on a miserable Yankees debut season for the prized free-agent acquisition. Rodon's hideous evening saw him get shelled for four singles, one double, one home run, and two walks before Matt Bowman mercifully relieved him. The southpaw hopes to quickly forget 2023 after debuting about halfway through the campaign due to a forearm strain and scuffling to a ghastly 6.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 15 homers (64 1/3 innings), which is three greater than he allowed a year ago in 17 fewer starts. Rodon will be searching for answers this offseason, considering his velocity was mostly on par with last season's figure despite far inferior results.
The New York Yankees, winners of eight out of their last nine games, look to complete consecutive series sweeps when starting pitcher Carlos Rodon takes the bump for Thursday's start versus the Detroit Tigers. While it's been a mostly poor year for the 30-year-old, he has shown signs of life lately with a 2.87 ERA (5.37 FIP) with 12 strikeouts in his last three starts (15.2 innings pitched) off the second injured list stint of his 2023. Rodon has declawed the Tigers for a 1.86 ERA and 41 punchouts in 29 IP (five starts) against Detroit since 2021. It's a short Thursday slate as usual, and the hard-throwing southpaw represents a tempting DFS pivot off the pricier SP options considering the matchup.
New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (hamstring) is scheduled to return from the 15-day injured list to start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, according to manager Aaron Boone. Right-hander Luis Severino will go on Wednesday. Rodon will return from a minor left-hamstring strain after throwing a five-inning simulated game on Wednesday. The 30-year-old southpaw has been a big fantasy bust in 2023 in his first year in the Bronx, as he's made only six starts due to injuries and sports an elevated 7.33 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 27 innings pitched. Still, he should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues and has a nice matchup upcoming in his first start back next week.

Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon should have plenty of elite fantasy upside on the mound in his first season with the New York Yankees. Already one of the sport's best starting pitchers, the 30-year-old joined the Yankees as a free agent this winter after spending the 2022 campaign with the San Francisco Giants. While with San Francisco, Rodon pitched to a 2.88 ERA and a 2.25 FIP in 178 innings of work while registering 237 strikeouts and 52 walks. Elsewhere, the veteran finished in the 89th percentile or better in xSLG, xwOBA, xBA, and strikeout rate thanks in large part to a four-seamer and slider combination. Opposing batters managed just a .278 xwOBA against the four-seamer, while the slider finished with a 39% whiff rate. The run values for the two pitches were -22 and -9 respectively. Rodon also finished with a career-best 14 pitcher wins in 29 starts. With his elite effectiveness on the mound, Rodon could log a similar, or even better pitcher win total for a Yankees team that won 99 games in 2022 and featured three starters who posted double-digit pitcher wins.
