Rodón Activated by Yankees, Rejoins Rotation After Elbow Surgery

The Yankees activated Carlos Rodón from the 15-day injured list and optioned Kervin Castro to Triple-A; Rodón will start today against the Brewers after elbow surgery to remove loose bodies and a rehab build‑up that included a 6 1/3‑inning stint in Triple-A. He returns to a mid‑rotation role behind Max Fried and Cam Schlittler, as New York’s rotation — already strong without him and Gerrit Cole — looks to maintain its league‑leading form. Rodón’s 2025 line (3.09 ERA, 203 K in 195 1/3 IP, 3.2 fWAR) shows what the Yankees hope he can recapture, though Cole is still a few rehab starts away; Castro’s demotion trims the bullpen to eight, with a potential call‑up later.
