Last season was tough, we lost a lot of starting pitching. Now that we are soooo close to getting reinforcements back with big name pitchers, it's scary to hear Carlos Rodon with a "setback," read more HERE.
I know I'd like to know more about how he hurt his hamstring. There seems to be some conflicting information on social media. One tweet I saw said Rodon hurt his hamstring after running Monday. Another one made it sound like he hurt it while he was pitching.
Anytime we have an injury, I get skeptical. I admit it. The Yankees are one of the richest franchises in all of sports and I think they have a horrible medical staff and training and conditioning staff. They should have the best resources that money can buy....and they don't. So when I read reports like these I raise my eyebrows. Then I see Aaron Boone make statements like THIS one today, and it's concerning. I never like Boone's comments they are so idiotic. It went from "We'll see what we have there," to "I don't think it's that big a deal. Hopefully it's not" and hopefully it doesn't delay his rehab start.
So what is the real story here? Rodon will be back in the Bronx to be present for the home opener and he will be evaluated by the training staff. Hopefully it's nothing and they actually diagnose everything correctly. It would be nice to get Rodon back in May but if the hamstring is worse than the Yankees initially think that may not be possible.
If this is a true setback this would be crappy for the Yankees. We really need the Rodon from last season to return to this team so I am going to put positive vibes out into the universe and cross my fingers and toes for good luck!
