Summary
Carlos Rodón will come off the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday at Camden Yards, marking his first major league outing since June 28 after left elbow inflammation.
Two rehab starts cleared the way for his return, including 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Double-A Somerset on Thursday with seven strikeouts on 58 pitches.
Rodón is 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts this season after his delayed May 10 debut, which followed offseason surgery to remove bone spurs from his left elbow.
The move gives New York a needed rotation boost after Max Fried went back on the injured list with a left elbow bone bruise.
