Yankees Reinstate All-Star Pitcher Carlos Rodon from Injured List
The New York Yankees have officially reinstated left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon from the 15-day injured list following his successful completion of a minor league rehab assignment. Rodon, a three-time All-Star, is scheduled to start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday as the Yankees aim to avoid a series sweep. To accommodate this roster move, the team optioned right-handed reliever Kervin Castro to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Rodon underwent elbow surgery in October 2025 to remove loose particles and reduce a bone spur, which caused him to miss the start of the 2026 season. Despite a rough final rehab outing where he allowed six runs, Rodon boasts strong career statistics, including an 18-9 record and a 3.09 ERA in 2025. He has historically performed well against Milwaukee, holding a 2.42 ERA in five career starts. This marks Rodon's return for his 12th major league campaign and fourth season with the Yankees, providing a significant boost to their pitching rotation as they navigate the early part of the season.
