Chelsea Janes: “Elmer Rodriguez will replace Fried for now, though Gerrit Cole (two more rehab outings, per Boone) won’t be long now.”
Jorge Castillo: “The Yankees called up Elmer Rodríguez with Max Fried officially going on the injured list. Rodríguez will take Fried’s spot in the rotation presumably until Gerrit Cole returns.”
MLB Pipeline: “Elmer Rodríguez is headed back to The Show! The #Yankees recalled their top pitching prospect, who has a 1.38 ERA over 26 Triple-A innings this year”
@jared_golds23: “Let’s see it again Elmer!!”
@TheMotor55: “Let’s mix in some strikes this time around, Elmer!”
@nickuva: “This time, make sure y’all give Elmer a shirt that isn’t too big for him and he’ll give you some solid outings.”
