Availability
Carlos Rodon (elbow) stated during the New York Writers' Baseball Gala that he is progressing well in his recovery from surgery he had in October to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The most recent timeline for Rodon's recovery has him returning to the Yankees' rotation in late April to early May.
Fantasy Impact
Rodon won a career-high 18 games for the Yankees last season and finished the year with an 18-9 record and a 3.09 ERA in a career-best 195.1 innings. The lefthander limited opponents to a .188 average and struck out 207 batters. The three-time All-Star has pitched for the White Sox, Giants, and Yankees and has 93 wins and a 3.73 ERA in 231 career appearances. Upon his return, he'll slide back in to a top-of-the rotation spot with the Yankees.
Carlos Rodón is in the second week of his throwing program in his return from elbow surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Rodon recently made 30 throws from 60-75 feet as he works his way back from a procedure he underwent back in October. It remains unclear if he will be able to return in time for the start of the season.
The Yankees reportedly expect SP Carlos Rodon (elbow) to return to the team in late April or sometime in May.
Fantasy Impact
Rodon underwent surgery to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur in his left elbow, a surgery that was expected to sideline him for at least eight weeks. Rodon turned in an excellent 2025 season, posting a 3.09 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 33 games last season.
Carlos Rodón is likely to miss the start of next season after surgery to address a bone spur in his elbow.
Fantasy Impact
Rodon will be slowly eased back this offseason. He likely won't miss much of next season barring any setbacks.
Carlos Rodon allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five over six innings in Thursday's win against the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s win, Rodon now holds a 3.09 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 18 wins and 9 losses across 33 starts this season. This outing marks his sixth quality start in a row and his 18th on the season. The Yankees are looking to the postseason with Max Fried and Carlos Rodon leading the rotation.
