White Sox turn to Carlos Rodon against Rays

Carlos Rodon takes the mound for the 3-5 White Sox in their series opener against the Rays on Monday.

The Sox could use Rodon’s precision — nine strikeouts in his previous outing and 15 on the season — after their starters took a beating against the Mariners.

No compatible source was found for this media.

Rodon (1-1, 1.59 ERA) faces Rays left-hander Blake Snell (1-1, 3.46 ERA), who had a career-high-tying 13 strikeouts against the Rockies in his previous start.

Here is the Sox’s lineup:

Garcia RF

Anderson SS

Abreu 1B

Castillo DH

Moncada 3B

Jimenez LF

Rondon 2B

McCann C

Engel CF
