CLEVELAND — Carlos Rodon’s road to making his Yankees debut has hit another speed bump with a different physical issue., but that has been delayed by back stiffness, Aaron Boone revealed on Tuesday.If that goes well, he would then face hitters in a live batting practice session on Friday.
When Rodon’s forearm injury was first disclosed on March 9, general manager Brian Cashman said that in a perfect world, the pitcher heThat would appear to be no longer in play, with Boone on Tuesday saying “that timeline seems a little aggressive,” in terms of getting Rodon built up enough to return.
“The buildup’s going to be the challenge of getting him to a threshold to where we take him,” Boone said. “He’s gonna determine it health-wise. We’re certainly not going to rush it just to do it. We want to make sure he’s in a good spot and built up properly.”While the back issue will set Rodon back at least a few days, Boone said his forearm and elbow were both doing well.He is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Thursday, after which he hopes to advance to facing live hitters.
“The bottom line is he got three big outs from the middle of our order in a huge spot,” Boone said. “They were some big outs he got. I don’t know what the line [is] – the line is different for everyone. Everyone wants to be annoyed by certain things or not.”
