the wife of New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon is calling out BS on a report Monday that indicated the two-time MLB All–Star would not return this season.
Rodon, who finalized a six-year, $162 million contract in December, the season started on the disabled list with a strained left forearm, but since then has been battling back problems that have prevented his return.
«Don’t get your hopes up with Rodon pitching this season,» Jomboy, a popular Yankees sports personality, said on his «Talkin Yanks» podcast.

«If we were to pass things that have happened to us that are unverified, unsourced, unwhatever… some people say ‘eh, I don’t think that’s going to happen.'»
Rodon’s wife took to Twitter to dispute the report.
«Bulls—,» he wrote.

Rodon’s back problem appeared during his forearm rehabilitation program.
«Definitely optimistic,» Rodón said last week. «We have various opinions, and they all seem to decide on the same thing, so I think that’s the route that we as a group want to go.»
Rodon said his forearm is fine and he was scheduled to receive an injection for his ailing back this week.
