The wait for the $162 million offseason signing may be a little longer.
The Yankees left-hander threw a bullpen session as planned on Monday in Tampa, but it came with a hitch: he is still not in the clear from the back issue that first popped up last week.
“His back is barking on him a little bit still, so we’re kind of seeing what’s going on there,” manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday.Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon was initially sideline with a forearm injury.Boone said Rodon was “getting some tests” done, with the Yankees awaiting the results before determining his next step.
After signing a six-year, $162 million deal with the Yankees in the offseason, Rodon started the season on the injured list because of a forearm muscle strain that he sustained in spring training.“I think it’s frustrating for him, certainly,” Boone said. “Again, elbow’s good. I don’t think this is any big deal other than a nuisance that’s slowing him a little bit. We know he’s going to be worth the wait, we just want to make sure he’s good to go when that time comes.
