Former NC State All-American pitcher Carlos Rodón will be the Yankees’ Opening Day starter for 2025. The game is set for March 27th at home against the Milwaukee Brewers.
New York’s ace, Gerrit Cole, will miss the entirety of the 2025 season due to a recent announcement that he requires Tommy John surgery.
This isn’t Rodón’s first rodeo as an Opening Day starter, having previously taken the mound in 2019 as a member of the Chicago White Sox. In that contest, the former Wolfpack star suffered a loss, giving up two earned runs in 5.1 innings while striking out six.
