He is set to face hitters next week, for the first time since going under the knife to remove loose bodies from his elbow in the offseason. Rod\u00f3n is healthy, but the Bombers have been slow with his ramp-up process in order to avoid any setbacks. He said his range of movement improved considerably, so he is still \u2018trying to figure out how everything moves again and just find the [pitch] shapes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sny.tv\/articles\/yankees-nationals-takeaways-3-7-26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SNY | Philip Martinez;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SNY | Philip Martinez<\/a>: Right-hander Will Warren extended his spring dominance on Saturday night vs. the Washington Nationals, pitching four quality frames in which he surrendered just one unearned run, lowering his Grapefruit League ERA to an impressive 0.87. He allowed two hits and walked a pair, striking out three. The talented but inconsistent hurler stretched out to 50 pitches and looks ready for the start of the season. He has a chance to prove he can improve his command and take the next step.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/03\/07\/sports\/yankees-gerrit-cole-felt-good-as-he-checks-another-key-box\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:New York Post | Greg Joyce;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">New York Post | Greg Joyce<\/a>: On Friday, Yankees ace Gerrit Cole completed his third live batting practice session of the spring, and it went as well as you can expect. He completed two innings, threw 30 pitches, and reached 97.5 mph with his heater. He also included some breaking balls and looked excellent, just like he has all spring. \u201cIt actually felt good,\u201d Cole said. \u201cThe second inning felt really good.\u201d\u00a0The team and the pitcher are both taking things really slow because he didn\u2019t pitch at all last season, but it\u2019s hard not to feel excitement at the prospect of a healthy Cole dominating in October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Post | Mark S\u00e1nchez: After yet another bullpen session on Saturday, Yankees left-hander Carlos Rod\u00f3n got&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613015,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,2004,10176,2281,5056,65969,4,1690,10147,62,2548,2547,79465,71,772,142],"class_list":["post-613014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-yankees","tag-baseball","tag-carlos-rodon","tag-george-m-steinbrenner-field","tag-gerrit-cole","tag-kim-klement","tag-mark-sanchez","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-post","tag-new-york-yankees","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkyankees","tag-philip-martinez","tag-washington-nationals","tag-will-warren","tag-yankees"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116192505275847723","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613014","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613014\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613015"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
