Yankees' Carlos Rodon says no back pain; still no return timeline

NEW YORK -- Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon, who has yet to pitch this season due to injuries, said he no longer feels pain in his back after getting a cortisone shot more than two weeks ago.

"The shots definitely helped my back," Rodon said. "I haven't felt anything since then."

Rodon arrived in New York to continue his rehab process after spending the first six weeks of the season at the team's player development facility in Tampa. The Yankees signed Rodon to a six-year, $162 million deal, but the lefty started the season on the injured list with a forearm strain.
