To start against Tigers Rodon will next take the mound sometime during the White Sox's upcoming series against the Tigers, which runs from Monday through Wednesday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago report...

Impact The White Sox have been giving Rodon extra rest between his starts as they look to keep him fresh for the postseason. The decision seems to be a sensible one, as he's thrown 124.2 innings already this season after throwing a combined 42.1 over the previous two years. He'll get anywhere between nine and 11 days off between starts this time around and is only expected to make two more total starts before the end of the regular season.

Next start not determined White Sox manager Tony La Russa said it's uncertain when Rodon will pitch next, Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Those were La Russa's comments prior to Friday's win over Boston, which the manager described as "very important" for many reasons. Apparently, the team would like to evaluate how Rodon feels following the start to determine his next outing. That the manager is considering a six-man rotation, per Sandalow, is a sign that he wants to build in an extra day of rest for Rodon, who is 7-2 with a 1.69 ERA with six or more days of rest. The White Sox don't have another open date until Sept. 27, and Rodon is up to 124.2 innings after throwing 42.1 combined over the last two seasons. Questions about his durability arose last month, when Rodon experienced a drop in velocity and missed time due to shoulder fatigue. The left-hander is tentatively scheduled to pitch Friday on six days rest, and by adding Reynaldo Lopez to the rotation, Rodon could get an extra day for the remainder of the season.

Earns win in return Rodon (12-5) allowed one run on three hits over five innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over Boston.

Impact Rodon made his first appearance since Sept. 1 after nursing a slight shoulder injury. He threw 62 of 86 pitches for strikes and the only blemish on his outing was a solo homer by Bobby Dalbec in the fifth inning. Over his last four starts, the 28-year-old southpaw has given up just four runs over 20 innings (1.80 ERA) with a 26:4 K:BB. Rodon will carry a 2.38 ERA into his projected start against the Angels at home next week.

Expected back Friday Rodon (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the rotation and start Friday against Boston, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Rodon hasn't been placed on the injured list, but he's been sidelined since Sept. 1 while dealing with a sore shoulder. The White Sox will want to be careful with him given his injury history, and they can afford to exercise caution given that they lead their division by 11 games However, it looks as though he'll be ready to go after missing just one turn in the rotation.

Playing catch Tuesday Rodon (shoulder) will play catch Tuesday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday that Rodon is "penciled in" to start one of the team's weekend games against the Red Sox, but a final decision on his status hasn't been reached. The White Sox will likely get a better idea of the southpaw's availability based on how he feels after Tuesday's throwing session.

Next start unclear Rodon will not start against Oakland this week due to fatigue and soreness, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Tony La Russa said Rodon might be able to pitch next weekend against the Red Sox. Given Chicago's sizable division lead, they figure to exercise extreme caution with their dominant lefty, suggesting a trip to the injured list is not out of the question for Rodon.

Picks up win Rodon (11-5) picked up the win Wednesday versus the Pirates, tossing five innings of one-run ball on five hits, a walk and five strikeouts.

Impact The 28-year-old was able to limit the Pirates to only one run, an RBI single in the fifth inning by Cole Tucker. The left-hander has been having his innings limited by the team as it is gearing up for the playoffs and he only threw 77 pitches in this one. On the year, he has a sparkling 2.41 ERA to go along with 11 wins. He projects to start next on the road Wednesday against Oakland.

Earns 10th win Rodon (10-5) allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings to earn the win Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Rodon was activated from the injured list immediately prior to his start to end a two-week absence. The team limited his pitch count, as he was pulled after 67 pitches despite a comfortable 7-2 lead. That type of workload management could continue through the final month of the season, as Rodon pitched a combined 42.1 innings between the 2019 and 2020 campaigns. Given that he's already tossed 114.1 frames in 2021 and the White Sox are headed for the playoffs, it's logical to assume the team will prioritize Rodon's health and effectiveness for the postseason.

Officially activated Rodon (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Thursday's start against the Blue Jays.

Impact Rodon missed just over two weeks due to left shoulder fatigue, but he'll return to the mound for Thursday's series finale against Toronto. Since manager Tony La Russa was unsure of the southpaw's status in the days leading up to Thursday's matchup, the White Sox will likely monitor his workload during his first start back. However, Rodon shouldn't face significant limitations following his relatively brief absence.

Confirmed to start Thursday White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Rodon (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list to start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Vinnie Duber of NBC...

Impact Though La Russa expressed some uncertainty about Rodon's availability for the series in Toronto, the southpaw apparently alleviated any concerns about his health by completing a bullpen session earlier this week without issue. Chicago could look to monitor Rodon's workload in his first start back from the IL, but since he was only on the shelf for two and a half weeks, he shouldn't need much time to get fully ramped up. Rodon's impending return will likely result in Reynaldo Lopez moving back to the bullpen.

Not assured of start Thursday White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Rodon (shoulder) will start Thursday "if he does a couple more things," Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact La Russa did not specify what Rodon needs to do between now and Thursday for reinstatement from the injured list. If the manager decides Rodon is not ready, then Dallas Keuchel will start against the Blue Jays. Rodon has thrown 109.2 innings in 2021 after throwing just 42.1 the previous two seasons.
