The New York Yankees place left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodón on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation, the team announces ahead of a series opener against the Minnesota Twins. The IL designation is retroactive to June 30. Rodón had been expected to pitch after returning to action earlier, but the injury delays his next start. The move comes during a period of roster activity for the Yankees as they try to manage multiple pitching issues. Rodón’s inflammation involves the throwing elbow, and it is the same elbow that underwent surgery in October, according to reports. The Yankees also recently lost fellow left-handed starter Max Fried to an elbow issue described as an elbow bone bruise. Together, the setbacks further affect the rotation as the club continues adjusting its lineup and pitching plans. One report notes Rodón has recorded a 3.30 ERA across nine starts earlier this season, reflecting his performance prior to the injury update.
