White Sox expect P Rodon back in mid-2020
The Chicago White Sox said Saturday that left-hander Carlos Rodon is expected to return in the second half of the 2020 season following Tommy John surgery this week.
The 26-year-old starter underwent a successful operation Wednesday, the team said.
Rodon was 3-2 with a 5.19 ERA in seven starts this season, striking out 46 batters in 34 2/3 innings.
He went on the injured list on May 2, one day after feeling elbow tightness while giving up three runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings against the Baltimore Orioles. He was torched for eight runs and nine hits in three-plus innings in his previous turn against the Detroit Tigers.
Chicago's first-round pick (third overall) in 2014, Rodon is 29-31 over five seasons with a 4.08 ERA.
