NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees are gaining one starter and losing another.

The Yankees put left-hander Max Fried on the 15-day injured list again Monday with a left elbow bone bruise, the same problem that sidelined him from May 14 until July 22. The move is retroactive to Friday, a day after he allowed five hits in five innings against Seattle.

The team also announced that left-hander Carlos Rodón will come off the injured list to start Tuesday at Baltimore. New York previously said Rodón would make a minor league start that day. He made two minor league starts earlier this month, one at Triple-A and one at Double-A.

Fried is 4-4 with a 2.81 ERA in 15 starts this season, his second with New York after signing a $218 million, eight-year contract.

In the fourth season of a $162 million, six-year deal, Rodón is 4-2 with a 3.30 ERA in nine starts after missing the first month while recovering from offseason elbow surgery. He returned in early May and struggled with command in his first three starts. He was 4-0 with a 2.97 ERA in his last six outings before going on the IL.

Rodón has been on the 15-day injured list since July 3 because of left elbow inflammation. He received multiple shots, including platelet-rich plasma injections, and threw 29 of 48 pitches for strikes in his first rehab outing for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 8.

He allowed three runs and three hits over 2 2/3 innings against Rochester, with four strikeouts and two walks. Then he gave up just two hits over 4 1/3 shutout innings last Thursday for Double-A Somerset against New Hampshire, striking out seven and walking one. He threw 41 of 58 pitches for strikes.

Rodón will rejoin a strong Yankees rotation that also includes Cam Schlittler, Gerrit Cole, Ryan Weathers and Will Warren.

Rodón had surgery Oct. 15 to remove loose bodies in his left elbow and shave a bone spur. Then he had a setback in late March when he felt tightness in his right hamstring while throwing at the Yankees’ complex in Florida.

Rodón was 18-9 with a 3.09 ERA last season and is 41-28 with a 3.93 ERA in 88 starts since joining the Yankees.
