• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Has thrown 5-to-6 bullpen sessions

  Rotowire Feb 12, 2026

  Rodon (elbow) has thrown 5-to-6 bullpen sessions and is scheduled to throw another one Saturday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports. Rodon also revealed that he was given two platelet-rich plasma injections in his surgically repaired left elbow in order to expediate the healing process. The expectation is that Rodon will make a few Grapefruit League starts and be ready for his season debut in late April or early May.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Progressing smoothly

  Rotowire Jan 28, 2026

  General manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that there haven't been any surprises so far in Rodon's (elbow) rehab, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Rodon finished the 2025 regular season with a 3.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 195.1 innings -- all personal bests since he joined the Yankees in 2023. After struggling in the postseason (9.72 ERA), he underwent surgery to address a bone spur in his left elbow. He began a throwing program in December and has since reported to the team's facility in Florida. Barring any setbacks, the 33-year-old southpaw will likely make a few appearances in the Grapefruit League and aim to make his regular-season debut in late April or early May.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Resumes throwing program

  Rotowire Dec 16, 2025

  Rodon (elbow) is in the second week of his throwing program, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Working his way back from surgery in mid-October to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, Rodon most recently made 30 throws from 60-75 feet. The southpaw anticipates making some Grapefruit League starts, but he will begin the season on the injured list and isn't expected to make his regular-season debut for the Yankees until late April or early May.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Projected for late April/early May

  Rotowire Dec 8, 2025

  The Yankees expect Rodon (elbow) to be ready for his season debut in late April or early May, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Rodon underwent surgery in mid-October to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow. The left-hander is expected to be cleared to begin a throwing program later this month, but he will need time to get built up and will begin the 2026 campaign on the 15-day injured list.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: To miss time after elbow surgery

  Rotowire Oct 16, 2025

  Rodon underwent surgery Wednesday to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports. Rodon will not be allowed to throw for eight weeks and the operation "probably delays him" to begin the 2026 season, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday. It sounds like the left-hander should be ready to make his season debut sometime in April, but a firmer timetable for Rodon's return will not be known for a while. The southpaw won a career-high 18 games during the 2025 regular season, finishing with a 3.09 ERA and 203:73 K:BB over 195.1 innings.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Rough outing in Game 3

  Rotowire Oct 8, 2025

  Rodon did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series. He allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two over 2.1 innings. Vladimir Guerrero tagged Rodon for two-run homer in the first inning and Toronto tacked on four additional runs in the third. Indeed it looked like the end of the line for Rodon and the Yankees, but New York rallied to take the lefty off the hook and keep its season alive. Rodon turned in a quality start in his wild-card outing against Boston, but he now has a 9.72 ERA this postseason following Tuesday's performance.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Takes no-decision in Game 2

  Rotowire Oct 2, 2025

  Rodon didn't factor into the decision during Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Red Sox, giving up three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings. Rodon squandered an early 2-0 lead by giving up a two-run single to Trevor Story in the third inning. The Yankees' offense then gave the southpaw a 3-2 lead to work with entering the sixth, which was once again spoiled by Story -- this time via a 381-foot solo shot to left field. Rodon needed 91 pitches to make it through six frames Wednesday, so he likely won't be available to pitch again until Game 3 of the ALDS on Tuesday if the Pinstripes advance past Boston.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Grabs win no. 18

  Rotowire Sep 26, 2025

  Rodon (18-9) earned the win Thursday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings. In his career-high 33rd start of the season, the left-hander gave up a two-run homer to Michael Taylor in the fourth inning but retired seven of the final eight batters he faced en route to his sixth straight quality start. During that stretch Rodon has pitched to a 2.43 ERA and 31:8 K:BB across 37 innings. With Thursday's outing, Rodon also eclipsed the 200-strikeout mark for the first time since 2022, his lone season in San Francisco. The 32-year-old finishes the regular season tied for second in MLB with 18 wins, solidifying a strong Year 3 in pinstripes.

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Rodon (16-9) took the loss Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings against Minnesota. He struck out four. Rodon delivered a quality start but was saddled with his ninth loss as New York's offense failed to score in Monday's defeat. The southpaw has been excellent of late, holding opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his past eight outings. During this stretch he's traded strikeout volume for run prevention, posting a 6.5 K/9 compared to his 9.4 mark on the season.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Hurls quality start in loss Wednesday

  Rotowire Sep 11, 2025

  Rodon (16-8) took the loss against Detroit on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six batters over six innings. Rodon pitched well in the outing, but New York's bullpen was again demolished late in the contest, and the team's offense put only one run on the board. The loss snapped a streak of five straight wins for Rodon, though he did manage to nab his fifth quality start over his past six appearances and posted his highest punchout total since he struck out nine Marlins on Aug. 1. Rodon has been effectively consistent for the Yankees this year, registering a 3.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 186:70 K:BB across 176.1 innings spanning 30 starts.

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2025

  Rodon (16-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Astros on Thursday. Rodon was stingy with baserunners but still had to empty the tank with 109 pitches (69 strikes). This was his fifth straight win and his fourth quality start in that span, during which he has allowed a total of eight runs (seven earned) across 30.2 innings. The southpaw is now at a 3.12 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 180:69 K:BB over 170.1 innings through 29 starts this season. Rodon will look to keep rolling in a tough home start versus the Tigers next week.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Works around walks in win

  Rotowire Aug 24, 2025

  Rodon (14-7) allowed two runs on one hit and five walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Sunday. Rodon has issued a season-high five walks in three of his last seven starts. He was largely able to work around his control issues Sunday, as he gave the Red Sox little to hit, with only a two-run single by Nathaniel Lowe in the sixth inning marring Rodon's line. The 32-year-old southpaw is now at a 3.24 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 172:65 K:BB through 158.1 innings across 27 starts. He's projected for a favorable road start versus the White Sox in his next outing.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Punches out five in 13th win

  Rotowire Aug 20, 2025

  Rodon (13-7) tallied the win Tuesday against Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five. Rodon ran into trouble in the second inning, giving up two runs during the frame, but it was a fine outing otherwise. The All-Star left-hander is now up to 25 outings of at least five innings on the year, and he's conceded greater than three runs on just six occasions in 2025. Through 152.2 innings, he owns a 3.24 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 169:60 K:BB. The Red Sox are lined up next for Rodon's next appearance this weekend, and Boston has an uninspiring .675 OPS against left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Superb performance in 12th win

  Rotowire Aug 13, 2025

  Rodon (12-7) earned the win Tuesday against the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and two walks in seven innings. He struck out five. Rodon gave up one run on one hit and one walk in a shaky first inning, but he more than settled in and was just about untouchable from that point on. Tuesday also represented the first instance since his July 11 start in which the All-Star left-hander pitched at least seven innings, and Rodon now sports a 3.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 164:58 K:BB over 146.2 frames. His next outing is slated for next week in Tampa Bay against the Rays, who have a .604 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of July.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: No-decision in Texas

  Rotowire Aug 6, 2025

  Rodon came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks over five-plus innings. He struck out three. The veteran lefty once again struggled to get the ball over the plate consistently, issuing at least three free passes for the fifth time in his last seven starts. Over that stretch, Rodon has produced a 4.50 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:22 K:BB in 38 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Twins.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Uneven showing in no-decision

  Rotowire Aug 2, 2025

  Rodon took a no-decision in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Marlins, allowing four earned runs on two hits and five walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out nine. Rodon threw four hitless innings to open his outing, but he ended up getting blasted for four runs in the fifth frame to leave a considerable knock on his ledger. While the All-Star southpaw failed to fire at least five frames for the first time in 2025 while also issuing five free passes, he did come just one strikeout short of tying his season high. Rodon still owns a strong 3.34 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 156:52 K:BB across 134.2 frames, but things aren't likely to get much easier his next time out, when he's expected to face the AL West-leading Astros in The Bronx.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Struggles with control in loss

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2025

  Rodon (10-7) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays, giving up four runs (two earned) on six hits and five walks in five innings. He struck out four. The five walks were a season high for Rodon, whose six hits allowed were his most since his June 14 start in Boston. The four strikeouts also tied a season low, but Rodon was able to complete at least five innings for the 21st time in as many starts despite having to fire his second-most pitches (107) of the year. Rodon will bring a strong 3.10 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 139:46 K:BB across 124.2 frames into his next scheduled outing in Philadelphia against the Phillies, who have a robust .818 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the start of July.
