Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Delayed by back tightness

Rodon's (forearm) rehab has been delayed a few days due to back tightness, Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday.

It's wouldn't appear to be a major setback, but Rodon has had to hit pause on his throwing program. The left-hander had been slated to throw live batting practice Monday, but that apparently didn't transpire. Once Rodon begins throwing live BP, he's expected to be about a month away from joining the Yankees' rotation.
