Carlos Rodón Fantasy Stats

The New York Yankees announced on Wednesday that they officially placed left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to March 22) with left-elbow surgery recovery. Rodon had a bone spur removed from his left elbow last October and is finishing off the final stages of his rehab. Barring a setback as he continues to ramp up his arm, the 33-year-old veteran southpaw is expected to make his 2026 season debut before the end of April. The three-time All-Star had his best year in pinstripes in his third season with the team in 2025, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA (3.78 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP with 203 strikeouts and 73 walks in 195 1/3 innings over 33 starts. It was just the second time in Rodon's career that he reached the 200-strikeout mark. Rodon will carry more risk for fantasy managers coming off his elbow surgery, but he's a high-upside stash who could only end up missing the first several weeks of the year.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's unsure if left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) will get into a Grapefruit League game before spring training ends, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Rodon will throw another live batting practice session in camp this week. "I expect him back at some point in April," Boone said. The veteran 33-year-old southpaw threw 30 pitches in a simulated game over the weekend and is getting closer as he recovers from offseason surgery to remove a bone spur in his left elbow, but he will begin the 2026 regular season on the injured list for the Yankees. Barring a setback as he continues to ramp up, though, Rodon might not even miss a full month. Rodon is a bit riskier for fantasy managers coming off elbow surgery, but his stock is rising this spring with positive rehab reports. Durability is a concern for the three-time All-Star, but he has made 30-plus starts in three of the last four seasons and is a top-of-the-rotation arm for the Yanks when he's healthy. At a lower price, Rodon is absolutely worth stashing in all redraft formats.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) appears to be making solid progress in his recovery process. On Wednesday, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that there have been no surprises so far during Rodon's rehab process. The veteran southpaw began throwing in December and has reported to the team's facility in Florida. Rodon underwent a procedure to address a bone spur in his left elbow late last season. Barring any setbacks, Rodon should be able to take the mound for the Yankees in late April or early May. Last season, Rodon posted a 3.09 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 203/73 K/BB ratio across 33 starts. The upside makes him worth stashing even if fantasy managers might get nothing from Rodon during the first month of the season.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) should return to action "sometime around May," according to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Rodon has been sidelined since October after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow. He was effective when healthy last year, posting a 3.78 FIP, 9.4 K/9, and 3.4 K/9 across 33 starts (195.1 innings). Although New York will open the 2026 season without Rodon and Gerrit Cole (elbow), the organization reportedly feels good about its rotation headlined by Max Fried, Will Warren, Cam Schlittler, and newcomer Ryan Weathers. Rodon's proven track record makes him an intriguing fantasy option, even though he won't be ready for Opening Day. As it stands, he ranks as the #59 starting pitcher in RotoBaller's latest 2026 fantasy baseball draft rankings.

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.
