Manager Aaron Boone said Rodon (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Saturday, likely with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The left-hander threw 40 pitches during a session of live batting practice Monday and should continue building up his workload Saturday. Rodon has been sidelined by elbow inflammation since late June and is likely to require at least a couple starts in the minors before being cleared to rejoin the Yankees rotation.
