CARLOS RODÓN NEWS

Dominant over six frames Rodon (16-9) picked up the win over the Athletics on Saturday, allowing five hits and one walk over six scoreless innings while striking out four.

Impact Already enjoying a 2-0 lead by the time he took the mound, Rodon proceeded to shut out the Athletics over six frames despite allowing at least one hit in five of those innings. It marked the second time in his last six starts that the veteran southpaw has hurled six shutout innings and he's now pitching to the tune of a 1.93 ERA in September (four starts) to go along with a 2-0 record. Rodon has also held his opponents to two or fewer runs in four-consecutive outings to open the month.

Stymies rival to earn 15th win Rodon (15-9) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out five.

Impact Rodon served up a third-inning homer to Tyler O'Neill that, the fifth long ball he's allowed over the past four starts, otherwise held the Red Sox in check to collect his 15th win. Rodon recorded one out following a leadoff double in the sixth but was subsequently pulled after 88 pitches, rendering him two outs shy of a quality start. It was the seventh time in his last 10 starts that Rodon has allowed two runs or fewer over five or more innings, posting a 3.18 ERA across 56.2 innings with 74 strikeouts over that stretch. The veteran lefty is excelling as the Yankees are making their push toward the AL East pennant. Next up for the surging Rodon is a matchup in Oakland against the hapless A's.

Nabs quality start Rodon didn't factor into the decision Monday against Kansas City, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out nine.

Impact Rodon fanned eight or more batters for a third straight start but gave up his third and fourth home runs of that stretch Monday. Both long balls charged to Rodon were solo shots, coming off the bats of Salvador Perez and Hunter Renfroe. Still, the left-handed pitcher held on for the quality start. Rodon is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Red Sox this weekend.

Fans 11 in no-decision Rodon allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out 11 over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact The lone hit run on Rodon's line was a solo home run by Josh Jung in the fourth inning. The Yankees pulled ahead 2-1 in the seventh, but the bullpen couldn't hold the lead, denying Rodon his 15th victory of the year. It was still an excellent performance for the southpaw, who has alternated between good and poor outings since the start of August. He's allowed 13 runs over 32 innings in that span and now has a 4.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 172:49 K:BB through 152.1 innings overall. Rodon's next start is projected to be at home versus the Royals.

Falls flat against Nats Rodon (14-9) took the loss against Washington on Wednesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over 5.2 innings.

Impact Rodon fell behind on his second pitch of the game when he served up Dylan Crews' first major-league homer. Things didn't get much better for the southpaw from there, as he gave up another run the first frame, two more in the second and a fifth and final run in the fourth. Rodon did manage to induce 16 whiffs and notch a healthy eight punchouts, but he also had five bases stolen on his watch and was bit by a wild pitch and a balk. The veteran hurler has been frustratingly inconsistent of late -- he's hurled two scoreless outings among his past five starts, but in the other three appearances during that stretch he's given up a combined 12 runs over 14.1 innings.

Impact Rodon generated 14 swinging strikes on 102 pitches and tallied three separate 1-2-3 innings to log his first quality start in four August outings. The southpaw has recorded five or more punchouts in 10 consecutive starts and is now tied for the major-league lead in wins with 14. On the season, he owns a 4.16 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 153:45 K:BB across 140.2 innings and lines up to face the Nationals on the road next week.

Struggles early in loss Rodon (13-8) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Impact Rodon was burned by a three-run second inning in his shortest outing of the season. He entered Saturday on a four-game win streak but has now failed to log a quality start in each of his three August outings. On the year, the southpaw owns a 4.34 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 148:44 K:BB across 134.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Guardians next week.

Blanks Texas for 13th win Rodon (13-7) picked up the win in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers, allowing three hits and five walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Impact The southpaw wasn't exactly sharp as he set a new season high in free passes, but Rodon kept Texas from cashing in the extra baserunners en route to his fourth straight win. He was lifted after 110 pitches (64 strikes), falling just short of his 13th quality start of the year. Rodon has given up three runs or less in five straight outings, posting a 2.54 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38:13 K:BB through 28.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come next weekend on the road in Detroit.

His fastball velocity was about one mph above his season average, and he accumulated 13 swinging strikes on the pitch while throwing it 61 times. The southpaw has won three consecutive contests and now owns a 4.37 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 137:38 K:BB across 125.2 innings this season. He'll try to earn his fourth straight victory against the Rangers next week.

Handles Red Sox for 11th win Rodon (11-7) got the win Sunday over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over 6.1 innings.

Impact Rodon put together another excellent start to help the Yankees take the series in Boston. His only blunder of an inning came in the fourth when he allowed back-to-back home runs to Rob Refsnyder and Connor Wong but was backed by plenty of offense from his guys. Rodon has now exceeded six innings in consecutive starts for the first time since early June and has now allowed three runs or less in 17 of his 22 starts this year. The 31-year-old owns a 4.34 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 129:36 K:BB in 120.1 innings and will aim for his third straight win when he takes the ball at home versus the Blue Jays over the weekend.

Fans 10 in win Rodon (10-7) picked up the win Monday against Tampa Bay, yielding one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings.

Impact The only damage done to Rodon came on a solo home run by Jose Siri in the fifth inning. The southpaw baffled hitters all afternoon, racking up 37 called + swinging strikes en route to a season-best 10 punchouts. Monday's start was much needed for Rodon, who hobbled into the All-Star break mired in a brutal slump. In six starts leading up to the intermission, the 31-year-old compiled a 0-5 record with a disastrous 9.67 ERA and 1.96 WHIP. Perhaps the All-Star break has rejuvenated Rodon, but he remains a high-risk, high-reward fantasy play moving forward. He will look to keep things rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for this weekend in Boston.
