Seven strikeouts in rehab start
Rodon (elbow) pitched 4.1 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and a walk while striking seven batters in a rehab start with Double-A Somerset on Thursday.
Analysis
Rodon was making the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment after he surrendered three runs over 2.2 innings with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. The southpaw was able to toss 58 total pitches, notching 41 strikes, and although it was against lesser competition, Rodon definitely looked more comfortable Thursday. The 33-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since July 3 while recovering from left elbow inflammation, and it's unclear if he'll make another minor-league start before returning to the Yankees.

Needs another rehab start
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an appearance on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Rodon (elbow) will make another rehab start Thursday or Friday.
Analysis
Rodon was touched up for three runs on three hits and two walks over 2.2 innings in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. He threw 46 pitches in the outing, so Rodon needs to get stretched out more before rejoining the Yankees rotation. The veteran left-hander is working his way back from elbow inflammation.

Roughed up in rehab start
Rodon (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four in his first rehab outing with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Analysis
Rodon was cleared to begin his rehab assignment after landing on the injured list July 3 due to left elbow inflammation. The 33-year-old was pulled after throwing 48 pitches, with 29 of them going for strikes. Rodon will likely need to make at least one more start in the minors before rejoining the big-league rotation.
