Overview
- Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday Rodón is slated to start Sunday against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
- The left-hander wrapped three rehab starts with a 3.38 ERA over 16 innings and reached 85 pitches in his latest outing.
- Rodón had elbow surgery in October to remove a bone spur, and recent Statcast data showed his fastball around 93 mph with more vertical movement.
- Boone said Gerrit Cole is a little ways off and likely needs two to three more minor-league starts after four rehab outings, with late May or early June eyed for his return.
- MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch reported Rodón is expected to take Elmer Rodríguez’s rotation spot when he is activated.
