He was signed by the Yankees in December 2022 for a six-year contract worth $162 million. Yet even with the huge amount of signing fee, the pitcher only appeared for one spring training game in 2023. The game was between the Yankees and the Atlanta Braves.
Following that game, Carlos Rodon reported that he feeling minor discomfort in the elbow which soon grew to him feeling a strain in his back. Although the player has been attending physical, no news of him fully recovering or even his complete injury has come out.
Amongst the despondent fans, rumors started circulating that Carlos Rodon would be missing the rest of the 2023 season. Jomboy, a sports commentator, gave flames to the rumor on the Talking Yankees podcast. A fan on Twitter posted about which got him an unexpected reply.
"Jomboy said on Talkin’ Yanks that he’s heard from unverified sources within the Yankees building not to get your hopes up on Rodon pitching this year"- posted a Twitter user
