The road back to the roster is proving to be a longer one than expected for new Yankees’ starting pitcher Carlos Rodón. On the new Talkin’ Yanks show that Boone joins Jomboy on, he said that Rodón’s progress is being delayed due to some back tightness that he is exhibiting, thus causing him to not be able to throw. Hopefully, it’s nothing serious and that he’s able to return in the next few weeks. That initial belief that he could be back within a week or so doesn’t seem to be coming to fruition.
The Yankees took a big gamble when they signed Rodón to the massive 6-year deal worth $160 million.
