Rodón Out Again with Elbow Inflammation | MLB News

Carlos Rodón’s return to the Yankees’ rotation has hit a major snag—back on the injured list with left elbow inflammation, just months after surgery on the same elbow. The ace, who pitched Sunday against the Red Sox despite showing lower velocity and discomfort, will miss at least 15 days after an MRI confirmed the issue. He’ll get a platelet-rich plasma injection and won’t throw for a while. The move is retroactive to Tuesday, and his spot in the rotation is now up in the air as the Yankees endure a seven-game losing streak. Despite posting a 4-2 record and a 3.30 ERA since returning May 10, Rodón’s inflammation is serious enough to sideline him. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed the ligament is intact, but the inflammation is the problem. The Yankees also shuffled the roster, activating Ryan McMahon and Trent Grisham while sending Oswaldo Cabrera down to Triple-A. With Gerrit Cole and Max Fried still recovering, the team’s pitching depth remains a work in progress—though Fried is making progress and could face hitters soon.
