The White Sox scratched left-hander Carlos Rodon from his Cactus League start Friday with tightness in his upper left biceps, and while an initial exam was positive, the third-year starter will undergo an MRI on Friday in Arizona.
Sox general manager Rick Hahn said it is still too early to tell how long the team will be without Rodon, but he said “odds are” he could start the season on the disabled list.
“We’re going to err on the side of caution, even if it winds up costing him his first couple of starts because we’re slowing down the schedule now by scratching him,” Hahn said.
