Overview
- Rodón, who threw a bullpen Saturday at Yankee Stadium, said his right hamstring felt better after last week’s tightness.
- Manager Aaron Boone called the hamstring issue minor, noting it limited running and fielding rather than arm strength, and the team did not order imaging.
- Boone said some soreness after the session was expected, and the next step is another side session that could lead to a minor-league rehab start.
- The left-hander is working back from an October elbow cleanup to remove bone chips and a spur, and he has said his arm now feels better than late last season.
- There is no firm activation date, though team guidance points to a possible late-April or May return if rehab stays on track, and the 7-1 Yankees would add him to a rotation already thriving without Rodón or Gerrit Cole.
