Rodón Near Return, Staff Adjusts | MLB News

Carlos Rodón is inching closer to returning to the Yankees’ rotation after throwing 40 live BP pitches and feeling great, marking a major step forward since his June 28 elbow inflammation setback. Despite a late start to the season due to offseason elbow surgery, he was pitching well before the injury — 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts. Manager Aaron Boone hints at one more rehab outing before Rodón’s return, possibly even a “piggyback” setup to ease him back into game action. This could shift roles for pitchers like Ryan Weathers and Will Warren, who’ve already logged heavy innings this year. With depth on the roster, the focus remains on readiness — every pitcher knows their number could be called at any moment, and they’ll give it everything they’ve got when it is.
