Part 6/10:
Carlos Rodon faced more extensive elbow issues—necessitating a bone spur shave-down and removal of loose bodies—performed in Southern California by renowned surgeon Neil Elitrage. Similar to Volpe, Rodon is expected to begin the season on the injured list, with a recovery window of mid-April to early May. The team’s strategy appears to be cautious with Rodon’s workload initially, perhaps matching the timelines of other injured starters like Gerrit Cole.
