Carlos Rodon only made seven starts for the Chicago White Sox in 2019 before needing to get Tommy John surgery.
With that being the case, the team is going to have to determine reasonable expectations for Rodon in terms of how much he can contribute to the team in 2020.
White Sox GM, Rick Hahn, doesn’t expect him back until the second half of the season, as detailed by Scott Merkin of MLB.com.
That is a reasonable timeline considering that Tommy John surgery usually requires a 12-18 month rehab process.
