Carlos Rodon Tosses Six Shutout Innings, Picks Up Win
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon tossed six shutout innings and struck out five in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. Rodon reduced his ERA to 4.16 on the season and improved his record to 14-8. This was his 12th quality start of the season and just his first in August, a good sign for the lefty. Rodon has been struggling to go deep in games, completing six innings just twice since June 15th before tonight. His efficiency will be key for the Yankees down the stretch as they'll be facing many important games in the weeks ahead as they work to make space between them and the Baltimore Orioles in the standing. With Luis Gil hitting the IL this week, the Yankees' rotation will need to be efficient with their pitch count to keep their bullpen fresh and anything Rodon can do to be more efficient will be great for New York. He will look to make another quality start during his next scheduled start on Wednesday when the Yankees head to Washington DC to face off against the Nationals.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon fanned six batters over five-and-two-thirds scoreless innings in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader victory over the Rangers by a score of 8-0. The southpaw allowed just three hits but also walked five batters in the contest. Still, the 31-year-old was able to pick up his 13th win of the season, now sporting a 13-7 record with a 4.18 ERA (4.56 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, and an 18.0% K-BB%. The former 2x All-Star should get a favorable matchup in his next start versus the Tigers on the road next weekend.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon put together a masterful performance against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The southpaw allowed one run on two hits over seven innings of work. Rodon struck out 10 batters along the way as he made easy work of the Rays' lineup. He has put together an up-and-down campaign thus far. Rodon was struggling heavily before this start so hopefully this will help him get back on track.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon got shelled again on Thursday, allowing eight runs over five innings in a 9-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodon gave up 10 hits, including two homers (both to George Springer) and walked one while striking out eight. Although the swing-and-miss stuff was there, he just couldn't locate well enough to stay out of trouble in this one. He has now allowed 20 earned runs in his last three starts (13 IP), a stretch that has seen his ERA climb from 2.93 to 4.42. He can't be started in fantasy until he figures things out, and in shallower formats it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider dropping him, although he could turn it on again at any point.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was shelled during Friday's start in the Bronx against the visiting Atlanta Braves, surrendering a season-worst seven runs on 11 hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings for his fourth loss of the year. After giving up 14 runs over six starts (34 1/3 innings) in the entire month of May, Rodon has now allowed 15 runs across four appearances (21 2/3 innings) in June. The 31-year-old left-hander will look to regather his early-season form when he takes a 3.86 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 84 punchouts and 25 walks through 88 2/3 frames on the season into his next scheduled showing in Thursday's favorable matchup on the road against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (9-2) hurled seven one-run innings Monday night, allowing five hits with no walks and three strikeouts while picking up his ninth win of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Rodon has now recorded seven quality starts in a row dating back to May 8. Despite the drop in his strikeout rate, the southpaw has been brilliant this season with a 2.93 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Look for him to continue his dominant season in a classic rivalry matchup against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park this weekend.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon flirted with a no-hitter in Wednesday's victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins, fanning nine batters through six strong innings of work for his eighth win of the season. Rodon carried a no-hit bid through five frames on Wednesday, but the Twins were able to put two runs on the board in the sixth before his night ended. The 31-year-old southpaw has given up more than three runs just one time out of 13 appearances for the Yankees in his second season in the Bronx, delivering a steady 3.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 71:20 K:BB over 73 innings. Rodon looks for continued success in his next scheduled start on Monday on the road against the Kansas City Royals.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had a nice outing on Thursday, throwing six innings of three-run ball against the Los Angeles Angels. Rodon allowed just three hits and a walk while striking out five. Although it's a solid line, the lefty's night could've been much better. He had allowed just one run heading into the seventh, where he allowed two hits and a walk before coming out of the game. Two more runs would then come in to score, making Rodon's line look worse than his performance showed. Still, Rodon has now posted five quality starts in a row and is 7-2 on the season, so fantasy managers should be quite happy with the results.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched six innings of shutout ball in Friday's 8-0 win over the Padres. The lefty allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out two. It was the 31-year-old's fourth straight quality start, improving his record to 6-2 and lowering his season ERA to 2.95. The veteran also has a good 1.18 WHIP, although fantasy managers who were hoping for a return to 33% strikeout rates are surely disappointed. His K-BB% of 14.8% is more in line with 2023's disastrous season, although slightly better as the southpaw has reduced his BB% by more than 2%. Rodon has also lowered his HR/FB% from 15.2% to 10.3%, which has contributed to his success this season. The 2x All-Star will draw the Angels in his next start in Anaheim on Thursday.
Carlos Rodon Picks Up Win, Quality Start Tuesday Night
New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (4-2) picked up his fourth win of the season in a 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. He produced a quality start along the way, finishing with six strikeouts and only one run allowed through six innings. After getting knocked around for six runs by the Baltimore Orioles, Rodon has put together back-to-back quality starts, only giving up three total runs in that span. The lefty has a 3.31 ERA on the season and is a lot more like the hurler they aspired him to be after signing with the club in the 2022-2023 offseason. Rodon's days of flirting with double-digit strikeouts every start are a thing of the past, but the Yankees will certainly take the fewer strikeout totals for the respectable ERA he has produced this season. Rodon is always good for an occasional hiccup, but fantasy managers can feel comfortable with him in their lineup against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
