On Thurdsay the left-hander for the White Sox was placed on the injured list due to inflammation in his pitching elbow.<\/p>\n<p>Rodon had problems in his last two outings saying he had a hard time staying lose. He allowed nine runs in three innings against the Tigers in Detroit and then on Wednesday was removed in the fourth inning of a double-header against the Orioles after allowing three runs in the inning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just been tight, really, the whole season,&#8221; Rodon said Thursday. &#8220;But nothing like yesterday. Yesterday kind of got me a little bit. It didn&#8217;t really loosen up like it normally does.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Upon examination, [Rodon] revealed some tenderness over the forearm,&#8221; White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. &#8220;We ordered some studies on them that revealed some edema in the flexor mass, which is essentially is some blood in the muscle. That&#8217;s obviously not a good thing, and trying to figure out the cause of that is what ultimately will dictate the course of action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hahn said it would be a while before Rodon returns and the team has not ruled out Tommy John surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Just last year Michael Kopeck, one of the teams top prospects, suffered the same fate.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Giolito was activated off the injured list to take Rodon&#8217;s roster spot. He had been dealing with a hamstring injury. Dylan Covey will move into the rotation but it is unlikely that top prospect Dylan Cease would be called upon just yet.<\/p>\n<p>Rodon dealt with a sprained wrist in 2016 and in 2017 he missed three months due to bursitis in his left bicep and later shoulder inflammation that led to surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Rodon is again dealing with an injury.
