Rodon (neck) will start Sunday against the Royals, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
Manager Robin Ventura had left himself some wiggle room, previously labeling Rodon as "likely" to start Sunday, but the skipper did away with any doubt as to Rodon's status after Saturday's game. Rodon was skipped one time through the rotation due to neck discomfort. He's had the Royals' number in two starts against them so far this season (three earned runs in 11.2 innings).
