Carlos Rodón pitched six innings for the New York Yankees, allowing one run and seven hits in his first start at Rate Field since leaving the Chicago White Sox after 2021. The White Sox showed a tribute video before the second inning and Rodón tipped his cap from the visiting dugout. Drafted third overall in 2014, Rodón spent seven seasons with Chicago, compiled a 42-38 record with a 3.79 ERA, and overcame arm and shoulder injuries including Tommy John surgery in 2019. He rebounded with a 13-5, 2.37 ERA season in 2021, spent one season in San Francisco, then signed a six-year, $162 million contract with New York and helped the Yankees reach the World Series after going 16-9 with a 3.96 ERA.
CHICAGO (AP) - It was just like old times for Carlos Rodón. Only in a different uniform. Rodón pitched six effective innings for the New York Yankees against the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. The left-hander allowed one run and seven hits. It was Rodón's first start at Rate Field since he departed Chicago in free agency after the 2021 season.
He spent one season in San Francisco before signing a $162 million, six-year contract with New York in December 2022. After a rough first season in New York - including IL stints for forearm and hamstring strains - Rodón helped the Yankees win the AL East and make it to the World Series last year. He went 16-9 with a 3.96 ERA in a career-high 32 starts.
