Yankees expect Rodón back Sunday, but Rice still sidelined with bruised hand
Carlos Rodón is set for his first Yankees start since elbow surgery, while Ben Rice stays day to day with a bruised left hand.
- Pitcher Carlos Rodón is expected to rejoin the New York Yankees rotation this Sunday in Milwaukee, while first baseman Ben Rice remains day-to-day after suffering a bruised left hand during Sunday's game against Baltimore.
- Recovering from October 15 elbow surgery and a subsequent hamstring setback in late March, Rodón has been sidelined all season; Rice sustained his hand injury catching a low pickoff throw during the team's weekend win.
- During his third rehab start Tuesday, the three-time All-Star pitched 6 1/3 innings, allowing five earned runs and striking out four. Rice continues leading the majors with a 1.214 OPS, 12 homers, and 27 RBIs.
- Following Tuesday's game, the Yankees optioned rookie Elmer Rodríguez to Triple-A and recalled right-hander Yerry de los Santos. Manager Aaron Boone said Rice likely avoids the injured list.
- Targeting a late May or early June return, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole continues his recovery from 2025 Tommy John surgery after making his fourth minor league rehab start Tuesday.
