Yankees add LHP Rondon to 40-man roster
Francisco Rondon - R - New York Yankees
Nov. 21, 2012 - 9:50 AM ET
Yankees purchased the contract of LHP Francisco Rondon from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Rondon, who turns 25 in April, posted a 3.93 ERA and 80/42 K/BB ratio in 71 innings this season between High-A Tampa, Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees clearly thought someone would pick him up as a lefty specialist in the Rule 5 Draft, so he's now on the 40-man roster.
