Rodon has not thrown the last two days and will not throw for an unspecified amount of time after receiving the injection, but the hope is that he can start building back up after that.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – For the first time this season, Carlos Rodon and the Yankees were finally in the same vicinity on Friday.
But the closest Rodon came to any kind of baseball activity was doing some agility drills on Friday morning at the Yankees’ player development complex, under the watchful eye of Eric Cressey, the team’s director of player health and performance. After leaving spring training five and a half weeks ago, hoping that Rodon would return from his forearm muscle strain at some point in April, the Yankees returned to Florida withCarlos Rodon will get a cortisone shot in the hopes it will help speed up his recovery from spring injuries.
“It’s hard,” Rodon said, speaking with reporters for the first time since spring training. “I wanted to throw today, I wanted to throw yesterday. But that’s why we have the training staff we do have so I don’t do something stupid and make something worse.
Instead, while Rodon was in the midst of ramping back up by throwing bullpen sessions and starting to face hitters in simulated games, he was thrown off course by back stiffness during the second week of April.
