MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco and Darragh McDonald: It seems to me that the daily news roundup often begins with an injury update, and unfortunately, today is no exception. In the first positive news fans have received in a while, Carlos Rodón was activated from the injured list yesterday, finally making his Yankees debut after inking a big six-year deal this past winter. Unfortunately, while Deivi García was optioned to make room on the active roster, the Yankees had to transfer Nestor Cortes to the 60-day IL to clear space on the 40-man; this means that Nasty Nestor cannot return before August — not exactly a surprise at this point, but a disappointing confirmation nonetheless.
