Yankees Update on Carlos Rodón's Return After Recent Loss

The New York Yankees announced encouraging news about pitcher Carlos Rodón on Thursday, indicating he may return to the major league rotation as early as next week.

This update followed the Yankees' narrow 1-0 defeat to the Seattle Mariners, which extended their recent struggles. Rodón had a strong rehab outing with Double-A Somerset, pitching 4 1/3 scoreless innings and allowing only two hits.

Rodón is recovering from left elbow inflammation that placed him on the injured list on June 30. Before his injury, he had a 4-2 record with a 3.30 ERA. The Yankees are considering how to reintegrate him into the rotation, with options including a piggyback arrangement with another starter. His return could provide a significant boost to the team as they navigate a challenging season.
