Rodon experienced some hamstring tightness while rehabbing his elbow, but looks to be getting back on track soon. Assuming all goes well on Saturday, the plan is for Rodon to start a rehab assignent shortly afterwards.

Carlos Rodon experienced right hamstring tightness during his throwing program Tuesday, according to Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone.

This news comes just a couple of days after Rodon completed a 50-pitch batting practice session. With the hamstring injury, fantasy managers should expect the Yankees to take it easy with Rodon, leaving him without a timetable for a return.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Carlos Rodon threw 50 pitches in a live batting practice session on Sunday.

Rodon is continuing to work his way back from offseason surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow. He should be nearing a rehab assignment.

Rodon underwent surgery last October to remove a bone spur from his left elbow and has been working his way back since. The Yankees placed him on the 15-day IL Wednesday as he continues the buildup process.

New York expects Rodon to make his season debut before the end of April, with a rehab assignment anticipated in the near term as the next step in his return.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Carlos Rodón is expected “back at some point in April.”

Rodon underwent a procedure in the offseason to remove loose bodies in his elbow. He is scheduled to throw live batting practice this week. He will pitch in minor league games at the start of the season before joining the Yankees at some point in April.
