After missing the first half of the season with a back injury, pitcher Carlos Rodon will make his debut with the New York Yankees Friday night. The team hosts the Chicago Cubs at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Rodon will take the mound in game #89 of the season. It’s been a long-awaited debut for the lefty veteran.
The Yankees are a -175 moneyline favorite against the Cubs, who will send ex-Yankees pitcher Jameson Tallion to the mound.
In the off-season, the Yankees inked the 30-year-old Rodon to a six-year contract worth $162 million as their top free-agent pitching acquisition. The Yankees signed Rodon under the assumption he could shoulder the burden as the #2 pitcher in the rotation behind ace Gerrit Cole.
He’s one of the premier starting pitchers in both the American and National Leagues over the last two years, and that’s always a welcomed addition when you’re trying to climb the mountain and become a world champion,” general manager Brian Cashman told reporters at Rodon’s first press conference.
