The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder fatigue prior to Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The move is retroactive to August 8. Relief pitcher Matt Foster was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. The news of Rodon's injury is a bit of a surprise as he was coming off of an extremely dominant start and there were no reports of fatigue afterwards. He pitched five scoreless innings against the Chicago Cubs this Saturday, allowing just two hits and two walks while striking out 11. There's no word on the severity of the injury or his timetable for a return at this point, but he'll at least miss his next start.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon picked up his ninth victory of the season on Saturday versus the Chicago Cubs. Rodon worked five innings and allowed two hits, zero runs, two walks and struck out 11 on the year. The first time All-Star is enjoying a career year for the Pale Hose and more importantly has been healthy all season. Rodon is now 9-5 with a shiny 2.38 ERA. Next up for the lefty will be a date with the New York Yankees on Thursday. Rodon should continue to be started with confidence in all matchups by managers.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Luis Patiño outpitched Gerrit Cole, Brett Phillips hit a grand slam during a 10-run sixth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided a three-game sweep by routing the New York Yankees 14-0 on Thursday. Patiño (2-2) allowed three hits in six innings. The 21-year-old right-hander, acquired in the trade that sent Blake Snell to San Diego last December, struck out eight and walked two. Cole (10-6) gave up a season-high eight runs — seven earned — on six hits over 5 1/3 innings and saw his ERA jump from 2.74 to 3.11. He had 10 strikeouts and two walks. Austin Meadows homered twice and drove in five runs for the Rays. Louis Head and Ryan Sherriff completed a four-hitter. All nine batters in the Rays’ lineup reached base in the sixth. It was the biggest scoring inning by Tampa Bay since a 10-run fifth at Miami on June 5, 2008.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon had a rare bump in the road with a loss versus the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. Rodon has been dominant for nearly the entire season, but only lasted four innings this afternoon. The lefty allowed eight hits, four runs, zero walks and struck out four. The first time All-Star has been dominant this season and managers should feel confident chalking this up as just a bad outing. Rodon is now 8-5 with a 2.49 ERA and will get the Royals in a rematch on Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton hit a grand slam over the visitors’ bullpen that landed in the left-bleachers 471 feet from home plate, helping New York hand Baltimore its first loss this season. New York was ahead 1-0 on Aaron Judge’s fourth-inning homer when starter Jorge López (0-1) walked the bases loaded in the fifth, and Shawn Armstrong forced in a run with a walk to slumping Aaron Hicks. Stanton sent a 92 mph fastball soaring for the longest home run of the young major league season and his eighth career slam. New York improved to 8-0 when Judge and Stanton homer in the same game, including three postseason wins. Left-hander Jordan Montgomery (1-0) allowed four hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. DODGERS 10, ATHLETICS 3 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Will Smith homered off the left-field foul pole, Corey Seager and Zach McKinstry each drove in three runs, and Los Angeles pounded winless Oakland. Justin Turner also went deep as the defending World Series champions provided... [More]
