Yankees' Carlos Rodon: No-decision in return to mound
Rotowire
Rodon didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Orioles, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.
Making his first start since June 28 after recovering from elbow inflammation, Rodon was limited to 66 pitches (39 strikes) but looked good, with the only blemish on his line coming from a Coby Mayo solo shot in the third inning. Rodon still hasn't taken a loss since May 21 and hasn't given up more than three runs in any of his 10 outings this season, resulting in a 3.22 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 56:28 K:BB through 50.1 innings. The veteran southpaw will look to get back in the win column in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Blue Jays.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Activated for Tuesday's start
Rotowire
The Yankees reinstated Rodon (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game at Baltimore.
Rodon has been sidelined due to elbow inflammation since late June, but he's ready to rejoin New York's rotation after a two-outing rehab assignment. The left-hander threw just 58 pitches across 4.1 scoreless innings during his final rehab outing, so he'll likely have some workload limitations in his first few starts back with the Yankees.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Making return from IL on Tuesday
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's contest in Baltimore, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Rodon breezed through 4.1 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in his second and final rehab start Thursday with Double-A Somerset. He threw only 58 pitches in that outing, so Rodon won't have enough stamina to pitch deep into Tuesday's game. Rodon had been on the shelf since early July due to left elbow inflammation.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Seven strikeouts in rehab start
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) pitched 4.1 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and a walk while striking seven batters in a rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Thursday.
Rodon was making the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment after he surrendered three runs over 2.2 innings with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. The southpaw was able to toss 58 total pitches, notching 41 strikes, and although it was against lesser competition, Rodon definitely looked more comfortable Thursday. The 33-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since July 3 while recovering from left elbow inflammation, and it's unclear if he'll make another minor-league start before returning to the Yankees.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Needs another rehab start
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an appearance on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Rodon (elbow) will make another rehab start Thursday or Friday.
Rodon was touched up for three runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. He threw 46 pitches in the outing, so Rodon needs to get stretched out more before rejoining the Yankees rotation. The veteran left-hander is working his way back from elbow inflammation.

Rodon was cleared to begin his rehab assignment after landing on the injured list July 3 due to left elbow inflammation.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: On verge of rehab stint
Rotowire
Rodon threw a live session Monday and could next embark upon a minor-league rehab assignment, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Per MLB.com, Rodon threw about 40 pitches in Monday's live BP and could begin the rehab assignment this Saturday. The left-hander has been sidelined since his last start June 28 due to left elbow inflammation. If all goes well for Rodon moving forward, he'll log a few minor-league starts before being activated from the IL by the end of August.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Another live session on tap
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium on Monday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Giancarlo Stanton (calf) will be among the Yankees players that will take swings against Rodon, who could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment if his elbow responds well to Monday's workout. Rodon has been on the shelf since July 3 and is likely to require at least a couple of rehab starts or extended simulated games before he's deemed ready to return to the New York rotation.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Could begin rehab stint soon
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) threw a "two up" session of about 30 pitches that went well Wednesday, and manager Aaron Boone said it's unclear if he'll next make a minor-league rehab start, MLB.com reports.
Rodon seems to be progressing well from the left elbow inflammation that has kept him sidelined for over a month. The veteran lefty is likely to need a rehab assignment before being activated from the IL, but for now it's uncertain if Rodon will complete additional live throwing sessions before logging game action. The hope continues to be that Rodon will be back in the big-league rotation at some point in August.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Receives second round of injections
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) received a second round of injections after throwing about 10 pitches off a mound Friday and could progress to a full bullpen session this week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Friday's round of shots appears to have been a scheduled part of his rehab program as he continues to work his way back from left elbow inflammation, which sent him to the injured list in late June. The 33-year-old is without an official timeline for his return, but it seems as though he could be back during the first half of August if he continues to progress with no setbacks.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Nearing mound work
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Rodon (elbow) has had "a few good days of throwing" and could resume throwing off a mound at some point during the upcoming week, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Rodon rested Sunday, but the southpaw is expected to resume playing catch Monday and will do throwing of some kind just about every day during the All-Star break. He'll likely need to complete multiple bullpen sessions before he advances to facing hitters and then embarks on a rehab assignment, so Rodon still has a few hurdles to clear in his recovery from left elbow inflammation prior to returning from the 15-day injured list. Rodon is without a definitive target date for a return but appears unlikely to make it back from the shelf before the end of July.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Likely out until mid-August
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) is not expected to be ready to rejoin the Yankees' rotation until around mid-August, Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports.
Rodon landed on the 15-day injured list this past Friday with a left elbow injury. While the hurler's UCL is uncompromised, he is dealing with significant inflammation that's likely to keep him shelved for at least 4-to-6 weeks. The southpaw got a late start to the season while recovering from offseason elbow surgery, so the Yankees undoubtedly will tread lightly here. Rodon has turned in a 3.30 ERA and 52:26 K:BB over 46.1 innings covering nine starts for the Yankees this season.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Walks four in no-decision
Rotowire
Rodon allowed two unearned runs on one hit and four walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Red Sox.
Rodon didn't have the best control, though it was Oswaldo Cabrera's fielding error in the fourth inning that allowed the Red Sox to scrape together a pair of runs. Rodon has mostly been steady throughout the season, allowing no more than three runs in any of his nine starts. He's posted a 3.30 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 52:26 K:BB across 46.1 innings. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Collects fourth win
Rotowire
Rodon (4-2) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. He struck out five.
The veteran southpaw wasn't exactly efficient, getting pulled after 87 pitches (55 strikes) following back-to-back doubles by Dillon Dingler and Matt Vierling in the bottom of the sixth, but the Yankees' bullpen preserved the win for Rodon. He's won three straight starts and four straight decisions, and he has yet to allow more than three runs in a start since coming off the IL in early May. Rodon will take a 3.70 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 46:22 K:BB through 41.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Boston.

The veteran left-hander delivered his third straight quality start on 96 pitches (58 strikes) as he gets rolling following his belated season debut May 10. Over those last three outings, Rodon has gone 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 18 innings. He'll look to stay locked in for his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against his former club, the White Sox.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Fans seven in six strong innings
Rotowire
Rodon took a no-decision Thursday against the Guardians, allowing one run on two hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Rodon continues to be difficult to hit, giving up four knocks or fewer in all five of his starts this year, but control remains an issue. The 33-year-old left-hander has now issued multiple free passes each time out, though he's also thrown at least five innings while yielding exactly one run in each of his past three outings. Rodon will try to further improve on a 2.88 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB over 24.2 innings in his next appearance, which is set to be a rematch versus the Guardians in Cleveland.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Seven Ks in five strong innings
Rotowire
Rodon (0-2) took the loss Thursday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out seven.
Rodon has been pretty tough to hit so far in 2026, giving up fewer than four knocks in each of his first three starts, but control has been a big problem since we came off the injured list. The 33-year-old southpaw has walked at least a trio of batters each time out, but it was encouraging to see him throw a season-high five frames Thursday while fanning a season-best seven. Rodon has a 4.15 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB across 13 innings, but he's set for a favorable matchup against the Royals in his next appearance.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Struggles in first loss
Rotowire
Rodon (0-1) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Mets.
Rodon threw 55 of 88 pitches for strikes in his second big-league start this season following offseason elbow surgery. The southpaw has now given up six runs (five earned) with a 10:8 K:BB through eight innings over his two starts. His pitch count Saturday suggests he's pretty close to fully stretched out, so he'll just need to work on fine-tuning his control and efficiency moving forward. Rodon's next start is projected to be at home versus the Blue Jays.
