Summary
Carlos Rodón’s Yankees ace career hit a snag as he’s sidelined with heavy inflammation in his left elbow, forcing a 15-day IL stint and pushing back his start against the Twins. The injury comes on the heels of offseason surgery to remove loose bodies and a bone spur — a reminder that even elite arms are vulnerable. With the Yankees reeling from a seven-game skid and now trailing the Rays in the AL East, Rodón’s absence is a major blow. His $162M contract makes his return crucial, but the team’s rotation is already thin — down to just four healthy starters. To cope, they’ve activated Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon, and brought back David Bednar, but the pressure’s mounting. With other pitchers like Max Fried also dealing with elbow woes, the Yankees may need to act fast before the August 3 trade deadline to fill Rodón’s void.
