Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon will start the season on the injured list, the latest blow to New York’s starting rotation before Opening Day.

Following a slow start, New York has been thriving, accumulating the league’s fourth-best record since Dec. 4.
Coming off a year without a playoff appearance, a star player at odds with his own fans and a summer in part defined by who the team didn’t acquire, expectations were not necessarily high for the Knicks headed into this season.
