Yankees' Carlos Rodón Allows 1 Run, Strikes Out 8 over 5 1/3 Innings in 2nd Minor League Outing
Rodón allowed one run and threw 51 of 75 pitches for strikes as he builds back after elbow surgery and a late-March hamstring setback.
- On Thursday, New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon struck out eight batters over 5 1/3 innings for Double-A Somerset against the Portland Sea Dogs in his second rehabilitation start.
- Rodon opened the season on the 15-day injured list following surgery last Oct. 15 to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and experienced a minor setback in March involving right hamstring tightness while throwing in Florida.
- During Thursday's outing, the starter allowed five hits and walked none while throwing 51 of 75 pitches for strikes, with Miguel Bleis hitting the only run allowed—a leadoff homer against the Boston Red Sox affiliate.
- Also on Thursday, top prospect Lombard Jr. made his debut with Triple-A Scranton and Wilkes-Barre after promotion, walking, flying out, and singling in his first three plate appearances against the Buffalo Bisons.
- Rodon is expected to make at least one more minor league start before rejoining the New York rotation, having previously tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings for High-A Hudson Valley on April 24.
