New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon will start the season on the injured list, general manager Brian Cashman confirmed Thursday.
Rodon, 30, has a left forearm strain and will not throw for seven to 10 days, Cashman said.
The Yankees signed Rodon to a reported six-year, $162 million contract in December.
He made one spring training start, allowing five runs on six hits (two homers) in two innings against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
Rodon was an All-Star with the San Francisco Giants in 2022 and with the Chicago White Sox in 2021.
He owns a career 56-46 record and a 3.60 ERA with 947 strikeouts in 847 1/3 innings in 152 games (147 starts) for the White Sox (2015-21) and Giants.
