(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) - LHP Carlos Rod?n, who is currently on the Chicago White Sox 60-day disabled list, will make a major league rehab start with the Charlotte Knights on Thursday, May 24th at BB&T Ballpark. Rod?n underwent left shoulder surgery in September (2017).
Rod?n, 25, started his rehab assignment last night and allowed just one run on three hits over five innings of work with Kannapolis (Low-A). He struck out six batters and tossed 65 pitches (42 for strikes). In parts of three seasons in the majors with the White Sox, Rod?n owns a 20-21 record with a 3.95 ERA in 66 games (63 starts).
