Carlos Rodón Throws Eight-Inning Masterpiece, Forcing Postseason Dilemma

Carlos Rodón pitched an eight-inning masterpiece Tuesday, capping a brilliant stretch with a 1.89 ERA in seven starts since returning from the IL. Despite posting a 2.67 ERA across 16 starts despite multiple injuries, his postseason role remains heavily debated. The Yankees must decide whether to use the hot hand in a Wild Card series, deploy him as a multi-inning relief weapon, or hold him in reserve for a potential ALDS against Boston.
