Yankees' Carlos Rodón to Start 2026 on IL After Career-High 2025 Season

Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón, who signed a 6-year, $162 million deal, will begin the 2026 season on the injured list. This follows a career-high 195.1 innings and a 3.09 ERA with over 200 strikeouts in 2025, earning him an All-Star selection and a 6th-place Cy Young finish. Despite a rough 2023, he rebounded strongly in 2024 and 2025, proving vital in recent postseasons, though his 2025 ALDS start was a 'dud.'
