Here\u2019s what people were saying on social media:<\/p>\n

Chelsea Janes:<\/a> \u201cElmer Rodriguez will replace Fried for now, though Gerrit Cole<\/a> (two more rehab outings, per Boone) won\u2019t be long now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jorge Castillo:<\/a> \u201cThe Yankees called up Elmer Rodr\u00edguez with Max Fried officially going on the injured list. Rodr\u00edguez will take Fried\u2019s spot in the rotation presumably until Gerrit Cole returns.\u201d<\/p>\n

@TheMotor55<\/a>: \u201cLet\u2019s mix in some strikes this time around, Elmer!\u201d<\/p>\n
