NextImg:Carlos Rodon takes step toward Yankees debut after injury setback

Carlos Rodon played catch on Sunday as part of the left-hander’s throwing program following a recent CT scan on his back.

Aaron Boone said Rodon is still dealing with some symptoms in the back, although they are dissipating.

“Back-wise, he’s fine,” Boone said before the Yankees hosted the Blue Jays in The Bronx.

The manager called it a “good sign” that Rodon was able to throw on Sunday.

“Hopefully he continues with his throwing program throughout the week and the back continues to subside,” Boone said. “But I don’t think it’s anything major structurally from a test standpoint.”

The Yankees are waiting for Rodon to make his debut with the team after signing a six-year, $162 million deal in the offseason before suffering a forearm muscle strain during spring training.

Boone doesn’t think the back issue will delay Rodon’s return by much, since he should be able advance to a bullpen quickly, provided the back doesn’t remain an issue.

“He hasn’t lost a lot of throwing time,” Boone said. “He should get right back into [throwing bullpens] as soon as he can get through this.”

“He’ll continue to throw this week as the back [issue] subsidies and the medicine does its thing,” Boone said.

Rodon is part of a Yankees roster that Boone called “beat up” on Sunday, with a dozen players on the IL, including a rotation that’s without Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas.
