Yankees Expected to Get All-Star Back From IL Tuesday
The New York Yankees will activate All-Star left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon for Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
The New York Yankees are set to activate pitcher Carlos Rodon from the injured list for their Tuesday game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 33-year-old left-hander has only pitched in nine games this season, totaling 46.1 innings. Rodon has struck out 52 batters while maintaining an impressive 3.30 ERA. With the Yankees' rotation already being the best in baseball since the All-Star break, Rodon's return is expected to provide a significant boost.
His performance last year saw him earn his third All-Star appearance and finish sixth in AL Cy Young voting. Fellow Yankees pitchers Gerrit Cole and Cam Schultzer are not expected to leave, while Ryan Weathers has shown promise since joining the team. Will Warren has struggled recently, and Max Fried has been placed on the injured list, leaving Rodon as the clear choice to fill the spot in the rotation.
