Carlos Rodon hasn’t had a lot of good luck lately. He had surgery on his left shoulder in September, which has kept him out of action with the Chicago White Sox this entire season. And then on Thursday he got hit in the forehead with a line drive during a rehab start with triple-A Charlotte.
Amazingly, he hopped right up and appeared no worse for the incident. He even wanted to keep pitching. Charlotte removed him from the game as a precaution, and rightfully so, since doing otherwise would have gotten every coach on that team launched into the sun.
