Carlos Rodón Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) had surgery on Wednesday to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow and will not throw for eight weeks, according to manager Aaron Boone. The skipper added that it "probably delays him" to start the 2026 regular season. So the Yankees will be without both Rodon and right-hander Gerrit Cole (elbow) to begin next season. The good news is that both Rodon and Cole could return before the end of April, barring setbacks in their recoveries. The 32-year-old made his third career All-Star appearance (and first in pinstripes) in 2025 by winning a career-high 18 games and posting a 3.09 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in 33 starts. However, fantasy managers will be skeptical about Rodon heading into 2026 after his surgical procedure on his elbow. Still, Rodon has back-to-back seasons with an ERA under 4.00 in the Bronx after posting a 6.85 ERA in 2023 in his first year in New York.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon will make his next start on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox, manager Aaron Boone announced. Rodon had been slated to start Friday against the Baltimore Orioles, but the Yankees want to set him up with an extra day of rest before he takes the ball in Game 2 of a wild-card playoff series. The 32-year-old will get a favorable matchup against one of his former teams, the White Sox, who rank 26th in the majors in runs. Rodon held them to one run in six innings in a win on Aug. 29. Having gone 17-9 with a 3.04 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP, and 198:72 K:BB over 189 1/3 frames, Rodon has enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon stayed on a roll on Saturday and improved to 17-9 in a 6-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Rodon held the Orioles to one run on four hits and logged eight strikeouts against one walk to pick up his fifth straight quality start. The 32-year-old hasn't allowed more than two runs in a game since Aug. 1 - an eight-start, 54 2/3-inning span in which he has pitched to a 2.33 ERA. In what will go down as one of the best seasons of his career, the three-time All-Star has recorded a 3.04 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP, 198 strikeouts, and 72 walks over 189 1/3 innings. Rodon is scheduled for a rematch against the Orioles on Friday in his final start of the regular season.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon earned his 10th win of the season on Friday night by throwing eight scoreless innings in his team's 11-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Rodon tallied eight strikeouts, allowing just four hits and one walk. The veteran lefty was named an American League All-Star earlier in the day and has had an excellent season to this point. In 119 2/3 innings (20 starts), Rodon is 10-6 with a 3.08 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 135 strikeouts. His 28.2% strikeout rate is his best since 2022, and he entered the night allowing a career-low .185 opponent batting average. Rodon is a must-start pitcher in all fantasy formats as long as he stays healthy.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon continued his terrific stretch on Tuesday, tossing seven one-run frames in a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Rodon scattered five hits and a walk while striking out eight in this one. The 32-year-old is having one of the best stretches of his career right now, and everything seems to be clicking for him. He sits at 8-3 with a 2.49 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 98 strikeouts in 79 IP. That's all you can ask for from any pitcher, and certainly from one drafted outside of the top 100 like Rodon was. He is a clear must-start pitcher for the foreseeable future, although one could argue selling high right now would be the shrewd move. His next start should come on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox at home.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon spun a gem in his team's 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday. Rodon tossed seven shutout innings, allowing five hits and striking out 10 to secure his seventh win of the season. He notched an impressive 21 swinging strikes in the contest on the way to lowering his ERA to 2.60, to go along with a 0.94 WHIP and 90 strikeouts over 72 2/3 innings of work. Rodon has been especially dominant of late as he's allowed just seven earned runs over his past seven starts. With his next start set to come against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, Rodon remains a high-end fantasy starting pitcher in all formats.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon had a strong outing in Thursday's 1-0 victory over the visiting Texas Rangers in the Bronx, throwing six scoreless innings on two hits allowed, two walks and eight strikeouts for his sixth win of the season. Rodon led the Yankees to their third series sweep of the year and lowered his season ERA to 2.88 with the strong outing in the series finale. The 32-year-old veteran southpaw was 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA in his first four starts of the year, but since then he's been dominant, going 5-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last seven outings. He used 38 sliders and 37 four-seam fastballs while throwing in 21 changeups and nine curveballs. Rodon is in midseason form at the moment and has allowed one or fewer runs in three of his last four starts. After a rough first year in pinstripes in 2023, Rodon appears to be settling in two years later.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (4-3) had another quality effort on Tuesday, hurling six innings of two-run ball and picking up his fourth win in a 15-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Rodon only allowed two hits and a walk while striking out seven. The 32-year-old has now allowed only two runs and 15 baserunners in his last 19 innings, winning each of those three starts. While Rodon tends to lose his control occasionally and also deals with home run issues, the southpaw can be absolutely dominant when he is on his game, like he is right now. This start improves his numbers to a (4-3) record, 3.43 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts in 42 IP. It can be frustrating to own Rodon in fantasy, but he is a must-start pitcher because of his upside. He will look to keep the momentum in his next start, which should come next Monday against the San Diego Padres at home.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (3-3) had another brilliant outing on Wednesday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a 5-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. He picked up his third win of the season. Rodon's only run allowed was unearned, and he allowed only four hits and two walks while striking out eight. After a dominant outing against the Tampa Bay Rays last time out, Rodon continued to sparkle in this one. He's racked up 17 strikeouts in 13 IP over his last two starts and has only allowed one (unearned) run on six total hits in those starts. He is a must-start in fantasy while pitching like this, and fantasy managers who roster him should be very encouraged by his past two starts. Rodon will look to keep things rolling in his next scheduled start on Tuesday against the Baltimore Orioles.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had his best start of the season on Friday, shutting out the Tampa Bay Rays for six innings in a 1-0 win. Rodon was very sharp in this one, allowing just two hits while striking out nine. Although it was mostly good for the lefty, he did walk four and had now walked 16 in just 29 innings so far this year. That's not ideal, but if he's limiting hits and striking batters out like in this one, it might not matter. All in all, it was a strong bounce-back effort for Rodon, and fantasy managers should feel better about the 32-year-old after this one.
