Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Cleared for rehab assignment

Rodon (back/forearm) is slated to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Somerset, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The expectation is that Rodon will make around three starts on the farm before perhaps returning from the 60-day injured list to make his Yankees debut sometime in early July. He's been stalled by chronic back issues and a forearm strain in the first half of the 2023 campaign after signing a six-year, $162 million contract with New York over the offseason.
