Carlos Rodon’s back still isn’t right, so there’s no timetable for the left-hander to make his Yankees debut after signing a six-year, $162 million deal in the offseason.
“He can’t get over the hump with the back, so we’ll have other people look at it,’’ Aaron Boone said Tuesday before the Yankees faced the Guardians. “He’s continuing to throw through all this to get to that place we need to get him to and that hasn’t happened.”
Boone said several times Rodon didn’t feel any pain in his back and his shoulder and elbow are healthy, but the back issue is affecting his delivery and “preventing him from getting to positions he needs to get to.”
The manager added that the team is weighing having Rodon stop throwing, although he threw as recently as Monday.
“We want to get him right and get the Carlos Rodon we know we’re going to get,’’ Boone said. “We’re confident we’ll get there… More than anything, he’s frustrated. He wants to be here. He wants to be on the mound.”
The rotation isn’t the only part of the pitching staff dealing with injuries, as Lou Trivino is headed for Tommy John surgery, Boone said Tuesday.

The right-hander is gone for the year, another blow to a bullpen that’s without Jonathan Loaisiga, who is out, likely until August, after undergoing surgery to remove a bone spur in his elbow on Tuesday.
Boone said the procedure went “as expected.”
