Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodón is set to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Tuesday's game against the Orioles at Camden Yards.
It'll be Rodón's first big league start since June 28 following a bout with left elbow inflammation. He's made two Minor League rehab starts this month, the latest one coming on Thursday for Double-A Somerset. He tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing two hits and a walk, striking out seven. Rodón threw 58 pitches, recording 41 strikes.
When Rodón landed on the IL on June 30, he was coming off a five-inning outing with two runs (none earned) allowed against the Red Sox two days earlier. For the season, he's 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts (46 1/3 innings) and has a 10.1 K/9 ratio. He didn't make his season debut until May 10 while he recovered from offseason surgery to remove bone spurs from his left elbow.
Last season, he won a career-high 18 games with New York and posted a 3.09 ERA in 33 starts, earning a sixth-place finish in Cy Young voting.
