The New York Yankees will activate left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon from the injured list to start Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles, per multiple outlets. According to Pinstripe Alley, Rodon has been sidelined since June 28th with left elbow inflammation and will make his return in the first game of a three-game series at Baltimore. The pitcher completed two rehab starts ahead of his activation.
ESPN reported the move represents "a change of plans" for the Yankees, though the outlets provided did not specify what those previous plans had been. Rodon's return strengthens an already deep pitching staff, per Yahoo Sports' reporting.
