Carlos Rodon made the necessary adjustment Sunday to avoid first-inning woes. But he was still not fully able to pitch like the Yankees need him to.
BALTIMORE — Carlos Rodon finally made the necessary adjustment on Sunday to avoid his first-inning woes.Rodon gave up only two runs but lasted just four innings because of a high pitch count before the Yankees
Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon lasted only four innings because of a high pitch count against the Orioles on Sunday.“It was a little bizarre at first, but just wanted to show I could throw sliders and breaking balls and show the fastball late,” Rodon said. “Got some swing and miss on some fastball showing that breaking stuff earlier.”
The slugger, out since June 22 with a hamstring strain that he expected to sideline him for around four weeks, has advanced to running the bases and hitting and could be “really close” to being ready to play when the Yankees start the second half on Friday, Boone said.The Yankees are giving Scott Effross more time to continue his buildup from Tommy John and back surgery, returning him from his rehab assignment Sunday, reinstating him from the 60-day IL and optioning him to Triple-A.
The Yankees’ rotation out of the break will tentatively go Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, Marcus Stroman, Rodon and Luis Gil.
