Yankees Place Carlos Rodón On IL With Elbow Inflammation
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Yankees have reinstated infielder Ryan McMahon and outfielder Trent Grisham from the injured list, while placing left-hander Carlos Rodón on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation, retroactive to June 30th.
- Rodón last pitched on Sunday with no apparent issues, but his history of injuries, including a recent elbow surgery in October 2025, raises concerns about the severity and duration of this new setback.
- With Rodón sidelined, the Yankees must adjust their rotation, relying on Gerrit Cole, Ryan Weathers, Cam Schlittler, and Will Warren, while other potential starters are either injured or not stretched out.
- The team is currently struggling, enduring a seven-game losing streak and dealing with recent injuries including star Aaron Judge, contributing to growing fan frustration despite maintaining a playoff position.
- The upcoming All-Star break offers the Yankees a chance to rest and regroup, but the club aims to avoid further injuries to prevent another midseason slump.
