NEW YORK -- New York Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon exited his start against the Houston Astros in the third inning Sunday with left hamstring tightness.
Rodon threw a 96 mph fastball to Chas McCormack well outside the strike zone and began circling the area behind the pitcher's mound and appeared to stiffen up. An athletic trainer and New York manager Aaron Boone came out to check on Rodon, who threw two warmup pitches. That was followed by a second meeting, where they were joined by plate umpire Angel Hernandez.
Rodon was then replaced by rookie Jhony Brito.
