When general manager Rick Hahn announced that Carlos Rodon had a significant arm injury last week, he said that everything was on the table, including Tommy John surgery.
The White Sox haven't had anything to say since about whether that will or won't be Rodon's fate, but it sounds like at least one doctor has made that recommendation, per a report from Jon Heyman.
White Sox are awaiting the results of a second doctor’s opinion on Carlos Rodon’s elbow before devising a plan of action. The first opinion suggested Tommy John surgery. Rodon and the team discussed this possibility a few days ago.
