White Sox shut down starter Carlos Rodon with left shoulder inflammation

CHICAGO �� Carlos Rodon's season is over.

The White Sox starter will not pitch again in 2017 because of inflammation in his left pitching shoulder and was placed on the 10-day disabled list, the team announced Friday.

Rodon, whose season start was delayed because of left biceps bursitis before he developed into the team's top starter, was scratched just before Thursday's start against the Indians with stiffness in his shoulder, saying, "I didn't feel right" while warming up.

That led to an MRI on Friday and the results came back during the Sox's game against the Giants at Guaranteed Rate Field. Rodon will undergo further evaluation next week.

Manager Rick Renteria said before the game the Sox would show "an abundance of caution" with Rodon, who is a big part of the team's rebuild as a potential top-of-the-rotation starter.

In 12 starts this season, the 24-year-old Rodon went 2-5 with a 4.15 earned-run average and 76 strikeouts in 691/3 innings.
