• 2026 season context: After surgery in October 2025 to remove loose bodies and shave a bone spur in his left elbow, Rodón began a rehab program in spring training and then moved into a rehab assignment before potentially rejoining the rotation in May 2026. Recent updates pointed to robust rehab outings and increasing pitch counts as he built up to a full starter role. [cite ][cite ]
• Health background: Rodón has a history of elbow procedures, prior Tommy John surgery and other arm issues, which influenced the cautious recovery plan and early-season IL stint in 2026. This context remains a consideration for fantasy and real-world expectations. [cite ]
