Overview
- After roughly a dozen bullpen sessions, Rodón is slated for his first live batting practice next week at Steinbrenner Field.
- He has been throwing an easy 90–91 mph and his full pitch mix in controlled work as he tests his restored mobility.
- The left-hander had mid-October surgery to remove loose bodies and shave a bone spur after losing elbow flexibility late last season.
- Despite the limitation, he logged 33 starts with a 3.09 ERA in 2025, highlighting his potential impact if fully healthy.
- The Yankees plan to stagger returns for Rodón, Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt, with Rodón’s season debut targeted for late April or early May.
