New York, NY – The New York Yankees received some good news on Friday as starting pitcher Carlos Rodón was cleared to make his start against the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series on Saturday.
Rodón was scratched from his scheduled start in Game 2 on Thursday due to a blister on his pitching hand. However, the blister has now healed enough for him to take the mound on Saturday.
“I’m feeling good,” Rodón said after the Yankees’ workout on Friday. “The blister is gone. I’m ready to go.”
Rodón’s availability is a big boost for the Yankees, who are looking to tie the World Series at 1-1. The left-hander has been one of New York’s most consistent starters this season, posting a 3.26 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 31 starts.
In other news, Aaron Judge will remain in the 3-hole in the Yankees’ lineup for Game 3. Judge has been struggling at the plate in the World Series, going 0-for-8 with six strikeouts. However, manager Aaron Boone said he believes Judge is due for a breakout game.
“I’m not going to move him out of the 3-hole,” Boone said. “He’s our best hitter and I believe he’s going to come through for us.”
The Yankees will face Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. in Game 3 on Saturday. McCullers is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts this postseason.
First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET on FOX.
