The New York Yankees will activate left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon from the injured list and give him the start Tuesday at the Baltimore Orioles.
Rodon last appeared in a game June 28 and was placed on the 15-day injured list July 3 after reporting left elbow inflammation. He received platelet-rich plasma injections amid his recovery.
He made two rehab starts in recent days, one at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and one at Double-A Somerset. In the latter, he tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings with two hits and seven strikeouts.
Rodon, 33, had surgery last October to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow. His season debut was delayed until May 10 due to a right hamstring issue in spring training.
Rodon was 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts before being placed on the IL. In 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox (2015-21), San Francisco Giants (2022) and Yankees (2023-26), the three-time All-Star is 97-74 with a 3.72 ERA, 1,461 strikeouts and 503 walks.
The Yankees were off Monday before opening a three-game divisional series in Baltimore. They began the week in the first American League wild-card position and 5 1/2 games out of the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the East.
Pitching has been the team’s strength, as New York leads the major leagues in ERA (3.26) and starters’ ERA (3.38). Rodon returns to a rotation that features stars Gerrit Cole, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler; both Cole and Fried missed parts of this season due to injury.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
