Rodon (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four in his first rehab outing against Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
Rodon was cleared to begin his rehab assignment Saturday after landing on the IL on June 3 with left elbow inflammation. The 33-year-old was pulled after 48 pitches, with 29 of them going for strikes. The southpaw allowed a leadoff home run to start the game and a two-run triple in the third inning. Rodon will likely need to make a couple more starts in the minors before he rejoins the big-league club.
