White Sox pitching prospect Carlos Rodon will join the major-league team Monday, FOXSports.com reports. CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman later confirmed the report.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 draft, Rodon has posted a 3.60 ERA and 13:4 K:BB ratio in 10 innings over his first two starts with Triple-A Charlotte. Though his long-term future in Chicago is in the rotation, he will initially pitch out of the team's bullpen. The reduced workload will allow the team to limit his innings workload in his second professional season.
