Overview
- Carlos Rodón has completed five bullpen sessions, including a 20-pitch mound workout with encouraging velocity in Tampa.
- Rodón received two PRP injections during recovery, with the second administered about 10 days ago.
- He is expected to open the season on the injured list, with hopes to appear in late-spring exhibitions and a possible return as early as late April or by May, though nothing is set.
- Manager Aaron Boone said both Rodón and Gerrit Cole could see Grapefruit League action before camp ends as they continue building stamina.
- The Yankees are aligning rotation depth, with Boone reaffirming Will Warren as a long-term starter and Paul Blackburn building up to start this spring.
