Carlos Rodon update: Yankees SP makes return to mound with first start in Minor Leagues

Things aren't going great for the New York Yankees right now, having lost eight of their last 12 games and amid injuries to Aaron Judge, Nestor Cortes and an entire bullpen's worth of relievers. But while Gerrit Cole was pitching the Major League squad to a much-needed win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night, New York also got some good news about 55 miles southwest of the Bronx in Bridgewater, New Jersey. A full six months after signing a six-year, $162 million contract back in December, lefty Carlos Rodon made his organizational debut, pitching three innings for the Double-A Somerset Patriots.

What a return to the mound for #Yankees LHP Carlos Rodon??
