The White Sox have named former NC State All-American pitcher Carlos Rodon as their opening day starter (March 28th in Kansas City). For the 5th straight season, Chicago will roll out a different pitcher for opening day.
This is Rodon’s first opening day start.
“He’s been with us, we know what he’s capable of doing,” White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. “The good thing is, we’ve started the year where he’s nice and healthy, we’re looking forward to a good season starting off. The way we slotted it, it just ended up being the right person for it.
