Scouting Report: Brody Rodning

Summary

Carlos Rodón, a 33-year-old left-handed pitcher, underwent surgery in October 2025 to remove loose bodies and a bone spur from his left elbow. After completing three minor league rehabilitation starts, he was activated from the 15-day injured list to make his 2026 season debut on May 11 against the Milwaukee Brewers. In his debut, Rodón struggled significantly, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits with 5 walks over 4.1 innings in a 4-3 loss. He threw 80 pitches with only 43 strikes. This was his first appearance after missing the entire first month of the season. Rodón is a three-time All-Star entering his fourth season with the Yankees, coming off a strong 2025 campaign (3.09 ERA, 203 strikeouts in 195.1 innings, 3.2 fWAR).
