Overview
- Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Rodón will start in Milwaukee on Sunday after three minor-league rehab outings.
- Rodón will take the rotation spot of rookie Elmer Rodríguez, who was optioned to Triple-A after Tuesday’s start, and the Yankees recalled right-hander Yerry de los Santos to bolster the bullpen.
- Gerrit Cole made a High-A rehab start Tuesday and remains a little ways off, with two or three more minor-league appearances expected before a late May or early June return.
- Giancarlo Stanton is still on the injured list with a right calf strain and has not begun running, and first baseman Ben Rice is considered day-to-day with a bruised left hand.
- New York is 25-11 with an MLB-best rotation ERA, which allows deliberate reintegration of injured starters and gives prospects like Rodríguez brief big-league experience before returning to depth roles.
