Rodon appears to be ramping up well as he continues his rehab from surgery to remove a bone spur in his left elbow. The Yankees have yet to disclose a concrete timetable for his return, but he'll presumably need to make a few rehab appearances before being activated for his 2026 debut.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Unlikely to pitch in spring game

  Rotowire Mar 17, 2026

  Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Rodon (elbow) is not expected to pitch in a Grapefruit League game this spring, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Rodon has been throwing side sessions and batting practice this spring and most recently threw 30 pitches across a pair of simulated innings over the weekend. However, there's just not enough time for Rodon to get into Grapefruit League contests. He's still building his arm up following offseason surgery to remove a bone spur from his left elbow. According to Phillips, Rodon is on track to make his regular-season debut sometime in April.

• Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Tosses another live BP

  Rotowire Mar 16, 2026

  Rodon (elbow) threw two simulated innings at the Yankees' spring-training complex on Saturday, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports. Rodon threw 30 pitches, upping his count after throwing 20 last Monday in his first session against live hitters since undergoing left elbow surgery last October. The veteran hurler said he felt good Saturday, suggesting that he "could have gone more" but acknowledging that he "can't do that yet" as he approaches his recovery with caution. Yankees manager Aaron Boone sounded optimistic about Rodon's rehab, indicating that the left-hander is "probably not that far behind" and saying that Rodon is "trending in a good way." While Rodon is expected to begin the season in the injured list, there remains the expectation that he will take the mound for game action before the end of spring training, and he could take his place in the Yankees' rotation before the end of April.

It's the first time Rodon has faced hitters since he had surgery last October to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow. The veteran left-hander's rehab from the procedure has gone off without a hitch, and he is expected to make some Grapefruit League appearances before Yankees camp breaks. Rodon will begin the year on the 15-day injured list, but he could be ready for his season debut before the end of April, at the earliest.

• 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.

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.

  Rotowire Sep 26, 2025

• 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.

• 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.

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.
