Carlos Rodón will throw close to 50 pitches in Triple-A as the Yankees map out a possible piggyback return.
- On Saturday, New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón began a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he works to return from left elbow inflammation.

- Rodón threw about 40 pitches Monday to a group including injured slugger Giancarlo Stanton while maintaining a 4-2 record and 3.30 ERA in nine starts.
- In the fourth season of a $162 million, six-year contract, Rodón said, "I wouldn't say anything delayed me," regarding his recovery plan and timeline.
