Carlos Rodon, the Yankees' $162 million winter signing, will start the 2023 season on the injured list because of a left forearm muscle strain in what is yet another blow to New York's starting rotation.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Rodon underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a mild strain of the left brachioradialis, a superficial forearm muscle -- a similar injury to one he suffered last year while with the Giants.
