Elmer Rodriguez allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 3 2/3 innings in Monday's loss to the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez has struggled to miss opposing bats of late, allowing three earned runs or more in each of his last three trips to the mound. The right-hander remains a disappointing option when called on to toe the rubber for manager Aaron Boone, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with an 0-3 record and 1.3 K/BB ratio through six starts.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Elmer Rodriguez will start against the Angels on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez pitched well against the Astros earlier this week. He'll look to carry that performance into a favorable matchup on Monday.
