Carlos Rodón Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) will play catch on Thursday for the first time since landing on the 15-day injured list last Friday with inflammation in his left elbow, according to Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network. Rodon will have a shot to return to the Yankees' starting rotation in the second half, but in a best-case scenario, the 33-year-old veteran isn't expected to be back until at least early August. The Yankees aren't going to rush Rodon, who missed the start of the 2026 season after having surgery last October to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow. The three-time All-Star has looked good in his nine starts for the Yankees this year in his fourth season with the team, going 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA (3.46 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 26 walks in 46 1/3 innings pitched, making him stash-worthy in most fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers are going to need to be patient.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) is expected to be out until mid-August with a left-elbow injury, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Rodon doesn't have any structural damage to his UCL, but he's dealing with significant inflammation in his elbow and will be out for at least four to six weeks. It's bad news for the Yankees and Rodon's fantasy managers, obviously, and it's especially concerning after he missed the start of the 2026 season while recovering from surgery last October to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in the same elbow. The 33-year-old three-time All-Star had his best year in the Bronx in 2025, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in 195 1/3 innings pitched. Rodon has gone 4-2 this year with a 3.30 ERA (3.46 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 52 K's and 26 walks in 46 1/3 innings across his nine starts. His strikeout rate sits at 26.8%, which is his highest mark since 2022, his lone season with the San Francisco Giants. Rodon should be held in the majority of fantasy leagues where he's rostered.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) said that he doesn't have any damage to his UCL, but he's dealing with heavy inflammation in his elbow, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rodon is hoping that he doesn't need a long recovery process. The Yankees placed the 33-year-old veteran on the 15-day injured list on Friday, which means he won't pitch again before the All-Star break. However, barring a setback once he resumes throwing, Rodon could have a shot to rejoin the team's starting rotation for the start of the second half later this month. In his 12th year in the big leagues (fourth with the Yankees), Rodon has gone 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA (3.46 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 26 walks in 46 1/3 innings pitched across nine starts. He got a late start to 2026 after having surgery last October to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. Durability is obviously a concern with the veteran southpaw moving forward, but fantasy managers should keep him stashed in an IL spot for the second half of 2026.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) was placed on the 15-day Injured List on Friday. Rodon heads to the shelf for hopefully a minimal stint due to left elbow inflammation. The Yankees believe this is an injury that can be managed without Rodon needing to undergo surgery. There isn't a clear timetable for Rodon, so the Yankees will just give him time to rest before they make any further decisions. The southpaw owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 52:26 K:BB ratio across nine starts this season. When healthy, Rodon is a stud, but keeping him on the mound has been a problem. It's unclear at the moment who is going to take over his spot in the rotation.

The New York Yankees announced on Sunday that they activated left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) from the 15-day injured list and optioned right-hander Kervin Castro to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Rodon will make his 2026 season debut for the Yanks in Sunday's series finale in Milwaukee against the Brewers. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw got a late start to the year after recovering from left-elbow surgery that he had last October to remove a loose body from his arm. Now that he's back, though, Rodon should be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues. He's currently rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues. In three minor-league rehab starts with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Double-A Somerset, and High-A Hudson Valley, Rodon allowed seven runs (six earned) on 13 hits (three homers) while walking three and striking out 16 in 16 innings. He shouldn't have any restrictions on Sunday after throwing 83 pitches in his final rehab start, and he'll be facing a Brewers team that ranks 23rd in the league with a .689 team OPS.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) is approaching the final checkpoint in his recovery from left-elbow surgery last October after he made another minor-league rehab start on Tuesday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. It wasn't his best outing on Tuesday, as he allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out four in 6 1/3 innings, but he came out of it healthy after throwing 49 of his 83 pitches for strikes. Manager Aaron Boone said on Tuesday that Rodon's next outing could be in the majors for his 2026 season debut, and it could come in the series finale on Sunday in Milwaukee against the Brewers. In his three rehab starts, Rodon has allowed seven runs (six earned) over 16 innings for a 3.38 ERA. The Yankees sent No. 3 prospect Elmer Rodriguez back to Triple-A after his second big-league start against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night, paving the way for Rodon to rejoin New York's rotation this weekend. Rodon is currently rostered in 87% of Yahoo leagues and must be picked up immediately if he's available on your league's waiver wire.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that it's possible that left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) only makes one more minor-league rehab start, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The plan is for Rodon to pitch on Tuesday at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Barring a setback on Tuesday, that will be his last start in the minors before making his 2026 season debut in pinstripes. The 33-year-old veteran is on the cusp of rejoining the Yankees, and he's looked great so far in his two rehab starts, striking out 12 and walking one while giving up just one run in 9 2/3 innings with High-A Hudson Valley and Double-A Somerset. Rodon will look to go over 80 pitches with Triple-A next week, so he'll be fully stretched out when he reaches the big leagues. He's coming off surgery last October to remove a bone spur in his left elbow. The three-time All-Star should be scooped up immediately if he's available in your league. Rodon is rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues already.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) looked great in his second minor-league rehab start on Thursday with Double-A Somerset, allowing an earned run on five hits (one homer) while walking nine and striking out eight batters in 5 1/3 innings of work. He threw 51 of his 75 pitches for strikes after tossing 4 1/3 scoreless frames in his first rehab start last Friday with High-A Hudson Valley. The 33-year-old veteran will most likely make one more rehab start in the minors early next week before the Yankees reinstate him from the 15-day injured list. Rodon has yet to pitch in the big leagues in 2026 after having surgery last October to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. With Rodon on the cusp of rejoining the big-league starting rotation, fantasy managers should check to see if he's available on your league's waiver wire. He's currently rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues. The Yankees might ease Rodon back in, but the three-time All-Star could quickly return to his solid 2025 form, in which he went 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in his 33 starts across 195 1/3 innings pitched.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Talkin' Yanks that left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) will make at least two more minor-league rehab starts, the first of which will be this Thursday at Double-A Somerset. Rodon made his first rehab start last Friday with High-A Hudson Valley and looked sharp, throwing 4 1/3 scoreless innings with one hit allowed, one walk, and four strikeouts. The 33-year-old veteran southpaw will be looking to build his workload in his second rehab start this week. Barring a setback in the minors as he builds up his left arm, Rodon should be able to join the Yankees' starting rotation at some point in early May for his 2026 season debut. He's on the 15-day injured list right now after having offseason surgery last October to remove a bone spur from his elbow. Rodon, a three-time All-Star, went 18-9 in 2025 with a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in 195 1/3 frames over 33 starts. If he's available in your league, scoop him up immediately. Rodon is rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues with his return on the horizon.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Monday that left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) will make his next minor-league rehab start on Thursday at Double-A Somerset, according to Erik Boland of Newsday. In his first rehab outing with High-A Hudson Valley on Friday, the 33-year-old veteran southpaw threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings with one hit allowed, one walk, and four strikeouts. Rodon has yet to make his 2026 season debut after having surgery last October to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, but he's on the verge of rejoining the Yankees' starting rotation in early April, barring a setback. Look for Rodon to up his pitch count in Thursday's outing on the farm. He might only need one or two more rehab starts before coming off the 15-day injured list. The former third overall pick in 2014 by the White South out of North Carolina State is definitely deserving of being stashed in all fantasy leagues with his season debut getting closer. He's currently rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues.
