NEW YORK — The New York Yankees<\/a> placed left-hander Carlos Rodon<\/a> on the injured list Friday with elbow inflammation, putting another dent in their starting rotation depth amid a seven-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Rod\u00f3n joins fellow left-hander Max Fried<\/a> on the injured list. Fried has been out with a bone bruise in his left elbow since mid-May. He threw live batting practice Tuesday and is scheduled to do so again Sunday before perhaps going on a rehab assignment.<\/p>\n

Rod\u00f3n, 33, underwent surgery on the left elbow in October to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur. The procedure delayed his readiness for the season, which was further delayed in late March when he injured his hamstring going through his throwing program.<\/p>\n

He made his season debut on May 10 and has a 3.30 ERA in nine starts this season. He was scheduled to start Saturday against the Minnesota Twins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Yankees could opt for a bullpen game Saturday and lean on long relievers Ryan Yarbrough<\/a> and Paul Blackburn<\/a>. Calling up right-hander, Elmer Rodr\u00edguez<\/a>, the organization’s No. 2 pitching prospect, from Triple A to make another spot start isn’t an option since he started Thursday. They could choose to promote right-hander Brendan Beck<\/a> to start or simply log multiple innings, who made his major league debut with three innings out of the bullpen on May 7.<\/p>\n

The Yankees also activated center fielder Trent Grisham<\/a> (hamstring) and third baseman Ryan McMahon<\/a> (throat infection) from the injured list Friday. Grisham has been sidelined since June 12. McMahon landed on the IL on June 24.<\/p>\n

To make room on the roster, the Yankees optioned infielder Oswaldo Cabrera<\/a> to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.br\/]<\/p>\n
