Chicago White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon will take the ball on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds in what manager Tony La Russa called an "interesting" and "important" start, as Rodon attempts to shake off arm soreness before the postseason.
Rodon threw a bullpen session on Sunday in Cleveland in advance of his last start before the playoffs.
"He didn't really let it go to where [it was] anything game-like but he said he's good to try it on Wednesday," La Russa said Monday morning. "So we're good to see it."
Rodon has been hampered by arm fatigue in the second half, spending time on the injured list, then taking extra days between starts.
