Carlos Rodon is in the rotation, and a switch at second base should be next
Hector Noesi's grasp on a rotation spot was tenuous even before he took a comebacker to the hip. His abbreviated start in the opener of the doubleheader, followed by Carlos Rodon's successful six innings, merely provided the last necessary motivation to proceed with the next phase of the project.
So Rick Hahn confirmed that Rodon is taking Noesi's place in the rotation -- with stipulations -- starting on Friday in Oakland.
That's one of two obvious moves the Sox needed to make this month before the season gets too far away from them.
