"Carlos Rodon seems to be progressing well from the surgery he had in October to remove loose bodies from his elbow. In an appearance on Foul Territory's livestream of the New York Baseball Writers' Gala, Rodon said he was back throwing eight weeks removed from the surgery. He's been recently doing mound work as well. It doesn't really feel like much of a rehab, Rodon said. The most recent timeline from the team had Rodon returning in late April or early May."
"Rodon stressed the improved mobility he had following the surgery. I couldn't really bend my elbow, he said of his pre-surgery movement. Rodon set career highs in starts (33) and innings (195 1/3) last season. He finished top 10 in strikeouts. A forearm strain cost him a few months to begin his Yankees tenure in 2023, but he's been largely healthy since then."
"The strong 2025 campaign for Rodon fell apart in the postseason. He was rocked for nine earned runs over 8 1/3 innings between the ALDS and ALCS. Rodon posted an uninspiring 8:5 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his two starts. New York will open next season with a rotation consisting of Max Fried, postseason breakout Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, Will Warren, and trade acquisition Ryan Weathers."
Carlos Rodon underwent surgery in October to remove loose bodies from his elbow and returned to throwing eight weeks post-op, with mound work and noticeably improved mobility. The team projects a late-April or early-May return, putting him ahead of Gerrit Cole and well ahead of Clarke Schmidt, who are recovering from Tommy John surgery. Rodon set career highs with 33 starts and 195 1/3 innings and finished top 10 in strikeouts, though the postseason saw nine earned runs allowed over 8 1/3 innings. New York's opening rotation will feature Max Fried, Cam Schlittler, Luis Gil, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers, with Paul Blackburn and Ryan Yarbrough available for depth. Gunnar Henderson is fully healthy after a shoulder impingement that affected much of last season.
