Yankees Say Carlos Rodón to Make Triple-A Rehab Start Saturday

The assignment will test his left elbow over multiple minor‑league outings and could add a trusted starter to New York’s late‑season rotation depth.

Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Tuesday that Rodón is scheduled to make his first rehab start on Saturday, with the outing likely to take place at Triple‑A Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre.
  • Rodón threw roughly 40 pitches in live batting practice on Aug. 3, a step that prompted the club to move him from controlled workouts to a formal minor‑league rehab plan.
  • Rodón has been on the Injured List since June 28 with left‑elbow inflammation and last pitched five scoreless innings against Boston before the IL stint.
  • The Yankees expect Rodón to need several rehab starts to prove durability and effectiveness before he is cleared to rejoin the major‑league rotation.
  • General manager Brian Cashman and the front office are counting on returns from Rodón and Clarke Schmidt to deepen the staff after a quiet trade deadline and to bolster the team’s postseason push.
