White Sox Promote LHP Rodon From Minors

whitesox2CHICAGO (AP) — The White Sox have promoted top pitching prospect Carlos Rodon from Triple-A Charlotte.

Rodon is expected to work out of Chicago’s bullpen for now. The No. 3 overall pick in last year’s amateur draft went 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in two starts with the Knights.

Chicago also reinstated right-hander Jake Petricka from the 15-day disabled list before its game against Cleveland on Monday night. The reliever had been out with a right forearm strain.

Javy Guerra was placed on the DL with shoulder inflammation, and right-hander Kyle Drabek was designated for assignment. The move for Guerra is retroactive to April 13.

The 26-year-old Petricka went 1-6 with a 2.96 ERA and 14 saves in 67 appearances last year. He led all major league rookies in saves.
