Carlos Rodon suddenly has injury issue that could impact Yankees’ World Series plans

Carlos Rodon was dealing with a finger blister, which affected his breaking pitches in Game 2, The Post confirmed.

Likely due to the blister issue, he became too reliant on his fastball, which eventually got hammered .

You have to wonder whether this could affect his Game 6 assignment, assuming Game 6 is necessary.

Giancarlo Stanton is not only an October dynamo (1.005 career posteason OPS), he’s the hardest-working man in show business. He was one Yankee out before Game 2 taking early hitting on the field (some may be doing it underneath the stands).

What Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas was thinking on costly Giancarlo Stanton send

Stanton’s key to his great postseason is avoiding nerves. “Nerves? No,” he said when asked about them.

“Nerves hinder you from being successful, so if your ultimate goal is to be successful, you better find a way not to be nervous,” Stanton said.

This World Series features the two main players in Boston’s regrettable Mookie Betts trade: Betts, of course, who remains one of the game’s five best players, and Alex Verdugo (2 for his last 20 after his ninth-inning homer Monday).

Dodgers people never saw Verdugo as star potential. They didn’t see him as having enough power or the ability to play center field.

OK, maybe stop the lefty-on-lefty thing with Freddie Freeman now that he’s homered off Nestor Cortes and Rodon, one scout suggested.

Teammates were thrilled for Freeman, who was spending “five to six hours” a day in the training room during the NLCS vs. the Mets (plus getting injections). This after his 3-year-old son Max was rushed into ICU in late July with a terrifying case of Guillain-Barré syndrome.

“I’m so happy to see him smiling and enjoying the moment after all he’s been dealing with,” Miguel Rojas said. …

The White Sox are taking a long look at Rangers bench coach Will Venable for manager after an “excellent” interview. Nothing’s done yet, and Venable is also a finalist for Marlins manager.

Ex-Yankees coach Phil Nevin, Guardians bench coach Craig Albernaz and interim manager Grady Sizemore also are in the White Sox mix.

Albernaz is a favorite for the Marlins job.

Congrats to Salvy Perez, the Roberto Clemente award winner. He also deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
