Carlos Rodón Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow) looked strong in his first minor-league rehab start with High-A Hudson Valley on Friday, tossing 4 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit, walking one, and striking out four batters. It was the first time that Rodon had pitched in a game since having surgery to remove a bone spur from his left elbow last October. While on the rehab trail, the 33-year-old veteran southpaw also tweaked his hamstring, but that injury is in the rearview mirror, and Rodon is nearing his 2026 season debut in the Yankees' starting rotation. He managed to throw 43 of his 65 pitches for strikes on Friday night. Rodon is expected to make two more rehab starts before being reinstated from the 15-day injured list. The three-time All-Star had his finest season in the Bronx in 2025, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA (3.78 FIP), 1.05 WHIP, and 203:73 K:BB in 195 1/3 innings across 33 starts. Rodon should not be floating around on the waiver wire, and if he is, grab him immediately. He's rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow, hamstring) will begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Friday with High-A Hudson Valley, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Rodon began the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list after having offseason surgery to remove loose bodies and to shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, and then he suffered a minor hamstring injury earlier this month that delayed his rehab assignment. Now that the 33-year-old southpaw is ready to resume pitching in games, he could return to the Yankees' starting rotation in a couple of weeks. The three-time All-Star probably isn't available in your fantasy baseball leagues, as he's currently rostered in 86% of Yahoo leagues. He had his best season in pinstripes last year, going 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 203 strikeouts and 73 walks in 195 1/3 innings across 33 starts. It was just the second time in his 11-year MLB career that he reached the 200-strikeout mark. The Yankees' rotation is nearing full strength with both Rodon and Gerrit Cole (elbow) nearing their season debuts.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow, hamstring) will throw live batting practice on Saturday and then should advance to a minor-league rehab assignment, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Manager Aaron Boone said that Rodon will probably need three starts in the minors before the team considers activating him from the 15-day injured list to make his 2026 season debut. The 33-year-old three-time All-Star is putting the final touches on his rehab from elbow surgery last year to have a bone spur removed, and the Yankees have also been cautious of late after he suffered a minor hamstring injury. Rodon will likely begin a rehab assignment at some point next week as long as he doesn't suffer a setback when he faces live hitters in a batting practice session on Saturday at Double-A Somerset. If Rodon looks good in the minors, he could make his season debut for the Yankees in early to mid-May. Fantasy managers need to have Rodon stashed in an IL spot everywhere after he finished sixth in the American League Cy Young voting in 2025.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (elbow, hamstring) will throw a live batting practice session at Double-A Somerset on Saturday, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. If Rodon comes out of Saturday's session without any setbacks, he will most likely be cleared for a minor-league rehab assignment. The veteran left-hander is still recovering from surgery to remove a bone spur from his left elbow in October, and he also recently suffered a minor right-hamstring injury. The 33-year-old will need plenty of time to build up with around three to four rehab starts, which means he could be ready to make his 2026 season debut sometime in early May. Rodon deserves to be stashed in an injured list spot in fantasy baseball leagues, as he'll have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's finally cleared to return. He was an All-Star for the third time in 2025 and had a nice 3.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 203 strikeouts and 73 walks in 33 starts for the Yanks.
