Carlos Rodon’s win over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday was a step in the right direction. The Yankees’ starter gave up just one run in five innings during New York’s 4-1 victory at Fenway Park.</p><p>In some respects, the win over the Red Sox was Rodon’s best outing with the Yankees. Rodon’s nine strikeouts were a season high. After surrendering a leadoff home run, Rodon shut the Red Sox down for five straight innings, allowing the Yankees <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/09/12/yankees-doubleheader-red-sox-gleyber-torres-everson-pereira/">to come back</a> and complete the sweep of their doubleheader.</p><p>“We just kind of committed to throwing all four pitches,” Rodón said, via The New York Daily News. “We featured the curveball heavy and it kind of opened up the fastball lane and I got a lot of swing and miss on those two pitches. It seemed like that curveball helped me a lot to get swing and miss.</p><p>“The fastball-slider combo seemed like it was getting pretty predictable, obviously. We had to show a different look and kind of scrambled to something else this week.”</p><p>Close to 20% of Rodon’s pitches were either curveballs or changeups, marking his highest rate of the season. The left-hander walked four batters, but he only allowed four hits and was able to work out of trouble.</p><p>Rodon’s 6.14 ERA is still about twice as high as the Yankees hoped it would be for the season. Struggling mightily amid two stints on the IL, Rodon has been a far cry from the pitcher that New York thought it was getting when it signed the veteran to a six-year,<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/carlos-rodon-free-agency-grading-yankees-6-yr-162m-contract" rel="noopener"> $162 million contract</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Yankees are searching for answers as their playoff hopes continue to slip away. Starting pitcher Carlos Rodon, who was recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-york-makes-pivotal-carlos-rodon-injury-move-amid-bid-remain-playoff-contention" rel="noopener">activated from the injured list</a>, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/carlos-rodon-shines-but-yankees-lose-ninth-in-a-row" rel="noopener">shared a fiery message</a> amid New York’s struggles.</p><p>“Listen, the guys in this room are the guys we got, and we have a job to do,” Rodon said, via Betelhem Ashame of MLB.com. “We just have to trust in each other and go out there and play baseball. We just got to put our nose in the ground and go. We gotta go. That’s it. There’s nothing else to it. This is what we’ve got.”</p><p>Rodon pitched well in his return from injury versus Washington. The constant issue of the Yankees’ offense underperforming told the story once again in the defeat though. New York now holds a 60-65 record and they are 17 games back of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East.</p><h2><b>Is there any hope for the Yankees?</b></h2><p>The Yankees are not going to win the division. The AL Wild Card is also beginning to appear out of reach. Technically, they are still in contention but happen to sit 10.5 games back of a wild card spot as of this story’s publication. New York will probably have to head home in October unless the team catches fire right now.</p><p>The Yankees will try to turn their season around on Wednesday in a rematch against the Nationals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Joining Carlos Rodon on the Yankees’ roster are infielder Oswald Peraza and outfielder Everson Pereira, who <a href="https://twitter.com/Feinsand/status/1694046240420376642">have been called up</a> from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.</p><p>Peraza and Pereira will replace outfielders Greg Allen and Billy McKinney on the roster. Allen has been designated for assignment by the Yankees. New York placed McKinney on the 10-day IL.</p><p>In theory, the addition of Rodon should boost New York’s slim chances of making a push for the playoffs. In reality, the Yankees’ 2023 season is over, and the team is shifting its focus to 2024.</p><p>In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, the Yankees are 9.5 games out of the final AL wild-card spot. Peraza and Pereira could be starting unofficial auditions for the 2024 Yankees. Aaron Boone indicated on “Talkin’ Yanks” that both players <a href="https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1694035377089298614">will get plenty</a> of at-bats to close out the season.</p><p>Peraza hit .268/.357/.479 with 14 home runs in 63 games at Triple-A. The highly touted infielder has a .173 batting average in 52 at-bats with New York in 2023. A shortstop by trade, Peraza is expected to get the majority of his playing time at third base. Anthony Volpe <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-anthony-volpes-jersey-number-selection-catch-brett-gardners-attention" rel="noopener">beat out Peraza</a>, among others, to win the starting shortstop job in free agency.</p><p>Pereira is the Yankees’ No. 3 prospect <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/yankees">in the farm system</a>, according to MLB Pipeline. The 22-year-old will make his major-league debut Tuesday. New York hopes that he can fill the void in left field, which has hurt New York all season long.</p><p>The Yankees promoted Pereira after he posted a .908 OPS for Double-A Somerset, and the outfielder hit even better in Triple-A. In 35 games with Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Pereira hit .312/.386/.551 with eight home runs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
