Impact Injuries have thus far prevent Rodon from getting his Yankees career off the ground, including both a forearm strain and chronic back issues. The back problem is the primary one at this point, but he's at least been able to take one small step towards his return after receiving a cortisone shot in early May. His return timeline should become clearer once it's revealed whether or not he's ready to begin throwing.

Could throw off mound this weekend Rodon (back) was given a cortisone injection Tuesday and could throw off a mound as soon as this weekend, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rodon will be shut down for 48 hours following the injection before beginning exercises Friday. If that goes well, he could be cleared to throw off a mound soon after. Rodon is battling through what's been described as a chronic back issue and the hope is the injection will help get him over the hump. He'll have to get ramped back up and begin a rehab assignment before a potential timetable for return can be considered.

Impact Rodon will undergo a cortisone injection in the early part of next week with the hope that it will help him return in a quicker fashion to the mound. Unfortunately, it sounds like this might not be an issue for the left-hander throughout the 2023 season, but potentially throughout his career. It sounds like Rodon now has very little chance of returning in the month of May, and it's possible he won't be able to make his debut for the Yankees until after the All-Star break.

Cortisone injection coming Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday that Rodon (back) will have a cortisone injection as soon as possible, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Boone told reporters that the medical consensus is that it will help him get back on the mound more quickly. Rodon has recovered from the forearm issue that kept him out at the beginning of the season, but the back trouble he picked up during his rehab has stagnated his progress. It seems likely that the left-hander's return will be closer to the end of May than the middle of it.

Back still bothering him Rodon's back is still bothering him and affecting his mechanics, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told Chris Kirschner of The Athletic on Tuesday.

Impact Rodon's pitching arm is a non-issue at this point, but he's been unable to get over the hump with a back problem which first cropped up in early April. Boone said the team is still discussing how best to proceed with Rodon's rehab. The lefty has had a few bullpen sessions but it's possible he might be shut down for a bit again.

Completes bullpen session Rodon (forearm/back) tossed 22 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, per MLB.com.

Impact Rodon was shut down from throwing in mid-April after experiencing continued discomfort in his back. The issue appears to have subsided, as the left-hander was able to throw off a mound in Friday's session. The good news is that the forearm strain that initially sent him to the IL in late March appears to be a thing of the past, and Rodon could up his pitch count and intensity in additional bullpen sessions before eventually embarking on a rehab assignment. However, he appears to still be multiple weeks away from a return even in a best-case scenario.

Impact Rodon was able to play catch Sunday, and now will be ready to throw a bullpen as he continues to make progress from his forearm strain and back injury.

Impact Boone also told reporters that the plan is for Rodon to continue with his throwing program this week, and that a bullpen would be the next step for the southpaw. Rodon has yet to be able to make his debut for the Yankees because of a forearm strain and now a back injury, and because of his lengthy absence he'll likely need a long rehab before returning to the rotation for New York near the end of May at the earliest.
