The Yankees used the word “mild” to describe Carlos Rodon’s new elbow issue. That may be the case, but their overall pitching problem is anything but mild.
In fact, it’s quite concerning.
The news wasn’t much better out of the bullpen, where Lou Trivino was diagnosed with an elbow sprain and is also shut down, joining Tommy Kahnle, who has been sidelined with biceps tendinitis.
