Aaron Judge activated from 60-day injured list by New York Yankees

Aaron Judge has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list by the New York Yankees

Sent down to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's game.

Impact Rodriguez turned in a quality start at home against the Astros on Aug. 26 and was rewarded with another start Monday against the Angels. However, he failed to build on the success from his previous outing, allowing four runs and taking the loss in Anaheim. The 23-year-old right-hander will now return to Triple-A as Will Warren slots back into the New York rotation this week against Colorado.

Brought down by Angels Rodriguez (0-3) took the loss against the Angels on Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 3.2 innings.

Impact Rodriguez had pretty good strikeout stuff, notching 13 whiffs among his 91 pitches and fanning five batters. Aside from that, however, he endured a rough outing, and he was pulled with two outs in the fourth after giving up three runs on two singles and two hit-by-pitches in that frame. The pair of hit batsmen and three walks highlight a major control issue for Rodriguez this season -- he's walked 16 batters and plunked six across his first 26.2 big-league innings. That's not a recipe for success, and there's a good chance Rodriguez will be sent back to the minors or moved to the bullpen following Monday's defeat.

Awarded another start Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Rodriguez will make his next start Monday against the Angels in Anaheim, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Summoned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week to fill the vacant fifth spot in the rotation, Rodriguez came through with his best performance to date through his first five big-league starts. The 23-year-old took a no-decision in Wednesday's 9-3 win over the Astros, yielding three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. Though Max Fried returned from the injured list Saturday to give the Yankees five healthy starters, a doubleheader that day created a stretch of six games in five days, so Rodriguez will stick around with the big club as a temporary sixth starter. The Yankees are likely to option Rodriguez to Triple-A or shift him to the bullpen following his start Monday.

Fans career-high six in quality start Rodriguez took a no-decision against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Impact It was arguably a career-best start for Rodriguez, who fanned a career-high six Wednesday. It was also his first quality start of the year and the first time he completed at least five frames altogether. Rodriguez tends to operate on a spot-start basis for the Yankees, but for now he's tentatively set to bring a 4.70 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 16:13 K:BB over 23 major-league innings into his next outing in Anaheim against the lowly Angels.

Summoned for Wednesday's start The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact Rodriguez will start Wednesday's game against the Astros and, if things go well, could receive at least one additional start with the big club. The right-hander has collected a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB over 17 innings in his first four starts with the Bronx Bombers.

AUGUST 26 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Confirmed as Wednesday's starter Rodriguez will start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact It will be the fifth big-league start for Rodriguez, who has logged a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB over 17 innings in his first four turns. The rookie right-hander has been much better at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 2.59 ERA and 99:46 K:BB over 97.1 frames. Rodriguez could be given an at least one additional start for the Yankees.

AUGUST 26 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to start Wednesday's game Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that there's a good chance Rodriguez will start Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Boone will wait for the conclusion of Tuesday's contest before officially deciding who will take the ball Wednesday. The Yankees have a doubleheader Saturday and won't have an off day until Sept. 3, so Rodriguez could make a couple starts with the big club. He's logged a 4.76 ERA and 10:11 K:BB in 17 innings covering four starts with the big club this season, and the rookie holds a 2.59 ERA and 99:46 K:BB over 97.1 innings this year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Sent back to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Impact Called up ahead of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Dodgers to serve as the Yankees' 27th man in the twin bill, Rodriguez wound up going unused in New York's 2-1 win in the nightcap. The 22-year-old righty will slot back into the rotation at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre during the upcoming week after compiling a 2.85 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 67:34 K:BB across 66.1 innings over his 13 starts at Triple-A prior to the All-Star break.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Called up, available in relief The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of the second game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

Impact Appointed as the Yankees' 27th man for the twin bill, Rodriguez appears set to make his first appearance as a reliever after he worked as a starter in his prior four big-league outings. Lefty Ryan Yarbrough is opening the game for the Yankees, but he hasn't worked more than three innings in any appearance this season and will likely be in line for an abbreviated start before the Yankees turn the game over to Rodriguez and their other relief arms. Over his first 17 big-league innings, Rodriguez has pitched to a 4.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:11 K:BB.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Potentially starting Sunday Manager Aaron Boone said Rodriguez will "potentially" start the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After taking Ryan Weathers out of the starter role for the second half of Sunday's doubleheader, the Yankees are considering Rodriguez for the job. Aaron Boone will make his decision based on how game one goes. Rodriguez will act as the Yankees' 27th man for the second game on Sunday. In four games with the big-league club, the 22-year-old has recorded a 4.76 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:11 K:BB in 17 innings.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Headed back to Triple-A Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Reds.

Impact Rodriguez was called up ahead of Sunday's contest, and he tossed four innings, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four against Cincinnati. The 22-year-old will now have to wait for his next chance with the big-league club down the road this season.

Recalled ahead of start The Yankees recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds in New York.

Impact Rodriguez is expected to make just one start for the big club before heading back to Triple-A, as manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that he simply wanted to build in an extra day of rest for the other members of the rotation. The 22-year-old righty will be making his fourth appearance of the season for New York after turning in a 4.15 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 6:9 K:BB in 13 innings over his first three big-league starts.

Starting Sunday Rodriguez will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start Sunday's game against the Reds, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact In an effort to give their starters some extra rest, the Yankees will bring up Rodriguez for a spot start Sunday. The 22-year-old righty has already started three games for the Pinstripes this season and owns a 4.15 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 13 innings. He'll be welcomed back to the majors by a Reds offense that has put up a .707 OPS across its last 10 games.
