- Carlos Rodón, the New York Yankees left-hander, underwent surgery Wednesday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache to remove loose bodies and shave a bone spur, and could miss Opening Day 2026.
- After postseason imaging, the club found surgery was needed recently, and Brian Cashman said cleanup was worse than MRI showed; Rodón, who turns 33 in December, went 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA this season.
- Data show Judge's 53 homers and 1.145 OPS, while Rodón's surgery may delay his 2026 season start.
- Volpe and Rodón are projected to begin the season on the injured list and could be sidelined until May, while Aaron Boone said several coaches won't return for 2026.
- Rodón's recovery includes eight weeks of no throwing while Volpe can start hitting in four months but can't dive for six months.
