With a strained left hamstring, the New York Yankees have put Carlos Rodon on the disabled list. 

New York lost 9-7 to the Houston Astros on Sunday, and the 30-year-old left the game in the third inning. 

Manager Aaron Boone withdrew him after he finished his last two pitches awkwardly, prompting Astros catcher Chas McCormick and the team’s training staff to come out and assess the situation.

After having an MRI following his removal, the team put him on the 15-day disabled list on Monday. 

With the hamstring ailment being the most recent in a long line of problems for the pitcher, the move puts him back in the same position he was in at the beginning of the season. 

Forearm muscle strain and back pаin slowed his start to the season and his time with the Yankees. 

The Yankees’ big winter acquisition was Rodon, who signed a six-year, $162 million deal. 

But he didn’t pitch for the Yankees for the first time until July 7 and only lasted a month before being sent back to the IL. 

He has thrown 27 innings while recording 25 strikeouts and 18 walks for a 7.33 ERA in six starts.

This latest setback further weakens an already vulnerable Yankees starting rotation.

On their roster for Wednesday’s game three against the Chicago White Sox, the Bronx Bombers had ‘TBA’ for the starting pitcher spot. 

While the Yankees welcomed back Nestor Cortez to the rotation not too long ago, they lost Dominican pitcher Domingo German to inpatient alcоhоl treatment. He will not play again this season. 

Nick Ramirez, a reliever, has been called up by the Yankees in preparation for the possibility that Rodon’s ιnjury may allow Luis Severino to keep his rotation slot and that New York will need to bring up another starter by Friday.
