Carlos Rodon

Carlos Rodon turned in a gem for the Yankees on Tuesday, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and two walks with six strikeouts against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

This performance not only secured a 3-2 victory for the Yankees but also served to alleviate some concerns about Rodon. Prior to this outing, his 1.76 WHIP and 6.02 FIP were points of skepticism among fantasy managers despite a 2.79 ERA. His ability to navigate through a game without surrendering an earned run, coupled with a solid six strikeouts over six innings, suggests that Rodon may be finding his groove.

In a 5.1 inning performance, Rodon allowed 7 hits and 2 walks, translating to 2 earned runs, while only striking out 3 batters.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the New York Yankees clinching a 6-5 victory, Rodon's personal stats did not benefit from the win, as the 31-year-old has not recorded a win in either start.. After two starts, his ERA sits at 2.79, with a 1.76 WHIP and a 6.5 K/9 ratio through 9 2/3 innings pitched.

In a game where the New York Yankees trounced the Houston Astros 7-1, Carlos Rodon's performance was less than stellar, leaving fantasy managers with mixed feelings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's victory, Rodon's outing was a mixed bag as he struggled with control, yielding three walks over just 4 1/3 innings while allowing five hits and only managing to strike out four batters. His inability to go deep into the game or secure a win, despite a generous run support, might raise some eyebrows. Fantasy owners should be cautious; the underlying metrics and Rodon's performance in this game hint at potential volatility moving forward. His strikeout rate still holds promise, but improved command will be crucial for Rodon to live up to fantasy expectations.

Carlos Rodon will make his first spring training start on the mound for the New York Yankees against the Toronto Blue Jays Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Rodon will look to continue an impressive start to spring training for the Yankees after a disappointing and injury-plagued 2023 for the club. The left-hander will be heavily counted on as part of the middle of the New York rotation behind ace Gerrit Cole for manager Aaron Boone this upcoming season.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said that Carlos Rodon "voluntarily reported to Tampa early" and "looks really good."

Fantasy Impact

Cashman added that the Yankees are "very optimistic that Rodon can return to form and be the pitcher we know he's capable of being." He dealt with numerous injuries last season that limited him to just 14 starts. He'll look to stay healthy and bounce back this season for the Yankees.
