New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon tossed six shutout innings and struck out five in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. Rodon reduced his ERA to 4.16 on the season and improved his record to 14-8. This was his 12th quality start of the season and just his first in August, a good sign for the lefty. Rodon has been struggling to go deep in games, completing six innings just twice since June 15th before tonight. His efficiency will be key for the Yankees down the stretch as they'll be facing many important games in the weeks ahead as they work to make space between them and the Baltimore Orioles in the standing. With Luis Gil hitting the IL this week, the Yankees' rotation will need to be efficient with their pitch count to keep their bullpen fresh and anything Rodon can do to be more efficient will be great for New York. He will look to make another quality start during his next scheduled start on Wednesday when the Yankees head to Washington DC to face off against the Nationals.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon fanned six batters over five-and-two-thirds scoreless innings in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader victory over the Rangers by a score of 8-0. The southpaw allowed just three hits but also walked five batters in the contest. Still, the 31-year-old was able to pick up his 13th win of the season, now sporting a 13-7 record with a 4.18 ERA (4.56 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, and an 18.0% K-BB%. The former 2x All-Star should get a favorable matchup in his next start versus the Tigers on the road next weekend.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon put together a masterful performance against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The southpaw allowed one run on two hits over seven innings of work. Rodon struck out 10 batters along the way as he made easy work of the Rays' lineup. He has put together an up-and-down campaign thus far. Rodon was struggling heavily before this start so hopefully this will help him get back on track.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon got shelled again on Thursday, allowing eight runs over five innings in a 9-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Rodon gave up 10 hits, including two homers (both to George Springer) and walked one while striking out eight. Although the swing-and-miss stuff was there, he just couldn't locate well enough to stay out of trouble in this one. He has now allowed 20 earned runs in his last three starts (13 IP), a stretch that has seen his ERA climb from 2.93 to 4.42. He can't be started in fantasy until he figures things out, and in shallower formats it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider dropping him, although he could turn it on again at any point.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was shelled during Friday's start in the Bronx against the visiting Atlanta Braves, surrendering a season-worst seven runs on 11 hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3 2/3 innings for his fourth loss of the year. After giving up 14 runs over six starts (34 1/3 innings) in the entire month of May, Rodon has now allowed 15 runs across four appearances (21 2/3 innings) in June. The 31-year-old left-hander will look to regather his early-season form when he takes a 3.86 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 84 punchouts and 25 walks through 88 2/3 frames on the season into his next scheduled showing in Thursday's favorable matchup on the road against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon flirted with a no-hitter in Wednesday's victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins, fanning nine batters through six strong innings of work for his eighth win of the season. Rodon carried a no-hit bid through five frames on Wednesday, but the Twins were able to put two runs on the board in the sixth before his night ended. The 31-year-old southpaw has given up more than three runs just one time out of 13 appearances for the Yankees in his second season in the Bronx, delivering a steady 3.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 71:20 K:BB over 73 innings. Rodon looks for continued success in his next scheduled start on Monday on the road against the Kansas City Royals.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had a nice outing on Thursday, throwing six innings of three-run ball against the Los Angeles Angels. Rodon allowed just three hits and a walk while striking out five. Although it's a solid line, the lefty's night could've been much better. He had allowed just one run heading into the seventh, where he allowed two hits and a walk before coming out of the game. Two more runs would then come in to score, making Rodon's line look worse than his performance showed. Still, Rodon has now posted five quality starts in a row and is 7-2 on the season, so fantasy managers should be quite happy with the results.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon pitched six innings of shutout ball in Friday's 8-0 win over the Padres. The lefty allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out two. It was the 31-year-old's fourth straight quality start, improving his record to 6-2 and lowering his season ERA to 2.95. The veteran also has a good 1.18 WHIP, although fantasy managers who were hoping for a return to 33% strikeout rates are surely disappointed. His K-BB% of 14.8% is more in line with 2023's disastrous season, although slightly better as the southpaw has reduced his BB% by more than 2%. Rodon has also lowered his HR/FB% from 15.2% to 10.3%, which has contributed to his success this season. The 2x All-Star will draw the Angels in his next start in Anaheim on Thursday.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon turned in a quality start in Wednesday's 9-4 victory over the visiting Houston Astros, tossing 6 1/3 two-run innings on seven hits (one home run) with seven strikeouts on the way to his third win of the season. Rodon got plenty of run support on Wednesday, and it was a strong bounce-back performance after he gave up six earned runs in his last start against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. The 31-year-old two-time All-Star holds a steady 3.56 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 43:14 K:BB across 43 innings (eight starts) for the Yankees this season, a major upgrade thus far over his disastrous debut season in the Bronx a year ago. Tuesday's stiff matchup against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field marks Rodon's next scheduled appearance, so fantasy managers may want to tread lightly for that one. Over their last 16 contests, the Twins are scoring 6.3 runs per game.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had a start to forget on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. The left-hander was tagged for seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with six strikeouts. He did not issue a walk, but he gave up three homers in the defeat. Prior to this outing against a tough Orioles lineup, Rodon had not allowed more than three runs in any outing this season. He will carry a 3.68 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 36/14 K/BB into his next projected start against the underperforming Houston Astros. Rodon still deserves to be rostered in most fantasy formats.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was tough to hit during Monday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The left-hander threw seven scoreless innings while allowing only one hit in what ended up being a no-decision. Sadly for Rodon, the Yankees offense didn't do much during this game. The Yankees ended up giving up two runs in the ninth inning and lost 2-0. Rodon is posting a solid 2.70 ERA, even though his 22/13 K/BB ratio isn't pretty. Fantasy managers will take this strong outing, but don't expect it every start from Rodon.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon picked up his first win of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 game against the Marlins. Rodon took advantage of a favorable matchup, allowing two runs (none earned) on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts over six innings pitched. There is a lot of pressure on the 31-year-old to have a bounce-back season after a dreadful 2023, and he has mostly done that through his first three starts. Rodon has compiled a 1.72 ERA with 13 strikeouts and seven walks in 15 2/3 IP. The strikeout-to-walk ratio is not what fantasy managers were hoping for, but they can't argue with his ERA. Rodon will look to start a winning streak in his next projected start at a struggling Blue Jays lineup.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon looked sharp throughout Monday's outing against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-hander tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out five batters as well on Monday. He currently sits at a 2.93 ERA this spring with some better outings as of late. The biggest thing for Rodon is going to be staying healthy and getting on the mound every fifth day. There is certainly some risk with taking Rodon is fantasy drafts, but he could be worth it.

In his second Grapefruit League start on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon didn't look very good, allowing three earned runs on five hits (two home runs allowed) while walking one and striking out one in three-plus innings. The 31-year-old southpaw was pumping high-90s heaters early in camp and had five strikeouts in his first spring outing, but Wednesday's performance looked more like his frustrating 2023 season in the Bronx in which he was mostly injured. "I'm trying to build it back up," Rodon said after his 60-pitch outing on Wednesday. A lighter Rodon is mixing in changeups, cutters, and curves into his fastball/slider combination. The early returns aren't exactly exciting, but Rodon's strikeout upside still makes him worth a flier as rotation depth in mixed fantasy leagues.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon surrendered four home runs during a live batting practice session against minor-league hitters on Friday. The 31-year-old allowed just one earned run with five strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings in his spring debut against the Blue Jays, so there's no reason for panic at this time. However, it's worth noting that he once again dealt with injuries in the 2023 season that limited him to just 14 starts while he posted a 6.85 ERA and dealt with big-time homer issues by way of a 2.10 HR/9 clip in that time. ATC projects a bounce-back season for the lefty as they peg him at a 4.08 ERA and a healthy 27.5% K% across 25 starts. While those numbers would serve fantasy managers well, he once again carries notable risk as part of his draft stock.

New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon debuted a new cutter during his Grapefruit League outing on Sunday. Rodon now features a cutter, fastball, changeup, slider and a curveball in his repertoire. In addition to adding a new pitch, the 31-year-old southpaw has reportedly been touching the high-90s with his heater during live batting practice sessions in camp this year as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing first season in the Bronx in 2023. We won't really know how effective Rodon's cutter will be in game settings in the regular season for a while, but it's an interesting footnote for a pitcher that could be a steal in fantasy drafts if he can stay healthy in 2024. The two-time All-Star only made 14 starts for the Yanks last year and struggled to a 6.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 64 K's in 64 1/3 innings.

There is internal optimism from the New York Yankees about left-hander Carlos Rodon after he threw a live batting practice session on Tuesday, with his fastball sitting in the mid-90s, and touching 97 mph. Last spring, Rodon featured a 90-92 mph fastball in early live sessions. He's trying to bounce back from a disastrous first season in the Bronx in 2023 in which he had a 6.85 ERA in just 61 1/3 innings due to injuries. The 31-year-old southpaw reported to camp early and is now leaner. Rodon signed a massive six-year, $162 million deal to come to New York last year, but he missed most of the season due to injury. His chronic back issue is the biggest concern, but if Rodon can manage to stay healthy in 2024, he should be a huge payoff for fantasy managers willing to take the risk.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was bombarded for eight runs before recording a single out in Friday's 12-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Talk about an ugly curtain call on a miserable Yankees debut season for the prized free-agent acquisition. Rodon's hideous evening saw him get shelled for four singles, one double, one home run, and two walks before Matt Bowman mercifully relieved him. The southpaw hopes to quickly forget 2023 after debuting about halfway through the campaign due to a forearm strain and scuffling to a ghastly 6.85 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with 15 homers (64 1/3 innings), which is three greater than he allowed a year ago in 17 fewer starts. Rodon will be searching for answers this offseason, considering his velocity was mostly on par with last season's figure despite far inferior results.

The New York Yankees, winners of eight out of their last nine games, look to complete consecutive series sweeps when starting pitcher Carlos Rodon takes the bump for Thursday's start versus the Detroit Tigers. While it's been a mostly poor year for the 30-year-old, he has shown signs of life lately with a 2.87 ERA (5.37 FIP) with 12 strikeouts in his last three starts (15.2 innings pitched) off the second injured list stint of his 2023. Rodon has declawed the Tigers for a 1.86 ERA and 41 punchouts in 29 IP (five starts) against Detroit since 2021. It's a short Thursday slate as usual, and the hard-throwing southpaw represents a tempting DFS pivot off the pricier SP options considering the matchup.
