Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Rodriguez will start Monday against the Angels in Anaheim, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Summoned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week to fill the vacant fifth spot in the rotation, Rodriguez came through with his best performance to date in the majors, yielding three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision against the Astros. Though Max Fried returned from the injured list Saturday to give the Yankees five healthy starters, a doubleheader that day created a stretch of six games in five days, so Rodriguez will stick around as a temporary sixth starter. The Yankees are likely to option Rodriguez to Triple-A or shift him to the bullpen following his start Monday.
