IL bound with shoulder fatigue The White Sox placed Rodon on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to left shoulder fatigue, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Impact Rodon had been scheduled to start Thursday's game versus the Yankees in Iowa, but the White Sox will be forced to alter their pitching schedule after the All-Star lefty apparently didn't feel quite right coming out of his between-starts bullpen session. Since his IL move is retroactive to Aug. 8, Rodon is eligible to return Aug.18 and may need to miss only one turn through the rotation. With a 9-5 record, 2.38 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 160 strikeouts in 109.2 innings this season, Rodon has been a godsend for those that took a late-round flier on him or scooped him up off the waiver wire back in April.
