Yankees manager offers update on Carlos Rodon 

Eager to make his first start for the Yankees after signing a six-year, $162M deal this offseason, Carlos Rodon received some positive news on the back injury that has kept him sidelined to begin the season.

Rodon experienced discomfort in his back in early April. New York shut him down for a few days before sending him to have a second CT scan; The results came back positive. 

Speaking to the media prior to Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, "Hopefully, he continues with the throwing program throughout the week and hopefully the back continues to subside, but I don't think it's anything major structurally from the test."

Having his throwing program pushed back means that Rodon is looking at a mid-June return to the mound. 

After making a huge investment in him this past winter, fans are anxiously awaiting to watch the left-hander bring his electric stuff to the mound to complement their ace Gerrit Cole.
