Elmer Rodríguez yielded three runs in four-plus innings in his spot start Sunday against the Reds.

Tyler Stephenson plated all three runs with his homer in the third. Rodríguez struck out four and walked two, with one of those free passes coming prior to the homer. He’s 0-2 with a 4.76 ERA in his first starts for the Yankees this season. He’ll return to Triple-A now, which would have been the case regardless of how he performed today.
