Yankees’ Hidden Gem Elmer Rodriguez Set to Shake Up MLB — Is He the Next Big Star?
With the Yankees sending Luis Gil down following another rough outing on Sunday, it created another opening in their starting rotation.
Some had thought Carlos Rodon could be a possibility the next time through, but they decided to look elsewhere with the lefty still needing two more rehab outings.
Instead, it’ll be top prospect Elmer Rodriguez to make his big-league debut.
“He’s a guy we view that’s gonna have a long career,” Aaron Boone said. “He’s coming off a phenomenal year at Double-A and a taste of Triple-A, and has gotten off to a great start there this year — he’s earned the opportunity.
