Carlos Rodon was having one other terrible day when it, and maybe his season, received rather a lot worse. The New York Yankees’ prized offseason acquisition noticed his ERA inflate to 7.33 as he endured one other poor begin with the group in search of a collection win in opposition to the Houston Astros.
In the course of what can be the ultimate at-bat of the third inning, Carlos Rodon threw a pitch to Chas McCormick earlier than having to be eliminated with what seems to be a hamstring harm.

In complete, Rodon pitched 2.2 innings with 5 earned runs (Jake Meyers and Yordan Alvarez went deep) with 5 strikeouts. The ultimate at-bat resulted in a strikeout credited to Jhony Brito.
What’s improper with Carlos Rodon?
Even earlier than a brand new harm threatened the remainder of his terrible Yankees’ debut season, Carlos Rodon was pitching horribly. The pitcher who posted an ERA uner 2.50 final 12 months was nowhere to be discovered this 12 months.
Maybe it was the harm, which price him Spring Coaching and about half of the common season, or it might have been the pressures of New York that Sonny Grey, Joey Gallo and others have struggled with.
However, a 7.33 ERA, whether or not due to harm or poor type, just isn’t what anybody anticipated when Rodon signed for six seasons within the Bronx. A return to the shape he displayed prior to now is critical for this to keep away from being one in all their worst offers in latest reminiscence.
