Carlos Rodón's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
