Carlos Rodón Begins Rehab Assignment Saturday

Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón is set to begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. Sidelined with left elbow inflammation, Rodón will use this assignment to build up his arm strength and evaluate his readiness for a return to the major league rotation. The assignment is expected to be brief as his return to the Yankees nears.
