San Francisco Giants starter Carlos Rodon dominated the Atlanta Braves for five innings on Wednesday, giving up an unearned run on two hits while striking out eight and walking one. The start was good enough for his 13th win of the season and lowered his ERA to 2.84, good for sixth in the National League. Rodon also owns a strong 1.04 WHIP and 220 strikeouts across 167.2 innings. Health was a concern coming into the year, but the 29-year-old already set a career-high in starts (29) and has confirmed that he truly is a fantasy ace.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon turned in another great start in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Tigers. Rodon pitched 7 innings, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts. Rodon has managed to stay healthy this season and has turned in outstanding numbers with the Giants, compiling a 12-6 record with a 2.81 ERA and an 11.55 K/9 rate over 25 starts and 147 1/3 IP. He has been a huge fantasy asset for managers who believed in him and should continue to be a higher-end option for the rest of the season. He will look to keep things going in his next start at home against the Padres.

The New York Yankees checked in at some point on San Francisco Giants left-hander Carlos Rodon, but it seems like a long shot. Rodon is clearly available at Tuesday's trade deadline, and he's also been linked to the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins. The Giants got off to a rough start to open the second half of the season, but it will be interesting to see if they classify themselves as buyers or sellers at Tuesday's deadline. Rodon spun seven scoreless innings while striking out 10 Chicago Cubs hitters in his last outing on Sunday night, and he earned his second straight All-Star nod this year. He's currently 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA, a 1.07 WHIP and a 158:39 K:BB in 123 innings over 21 innings pitched.

The Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly interested in San Francisco Giants starter Carlos Rodon, per the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser. The Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals are also showing interest in the left-hander. The 29-year-old has pitched to a 3.00 ERA and a 2.29 FIP in 123 innings for the Giants this season, logging 158 strikeouts and just 39 walks in the process. Philadelphia's current rotation options include Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Kyle Gibsonand Ranger Suarez.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon was at his best Sunday evening, allowing just two hits to the Chicago Cubs in a 4-0 victory. He neither gave up a run nor walked a batter while striking out 10. If the Giants do choose to trade Rodon in the coming days, they could not have asked for a better showcase for the righty, who now has a 9-6 record with an ERA of 3.00 and a WHIP of 1.07 with 158 strikeouts in 123 innings across 21 starts this year. If he should be traded, it would only increase his fantasy value as his likelihood of earning a win in any given start would presumably rise.

The San Francisco Giants are now listening to offers for veteran players, according to Jon Heyman. With the Giants in a freefall, going 2-8 in their last 10 and falling four games out of the final wild card spot, this change in philosophy makes sense. While Carlos Rodon and Joc Pederson are the obvious trade targets, veterans like Brandon Belt, Mike Yastrzemski, Jakob Junis, Wilmer Flores, Brandon Crawford, Alex Wood, and Evan Longoria all have contracts expiring either this year or next and are out of team control. If the Giants do decide to sell, there are a lot of interesting names available.

The San Francisco Giants continue to convey to other teams that they aren't sellers, and at the moment they intend to hang on to possible free-agent starting pitcher Carlos Rodon and outfielder Joc Pederson. Rodon signed a two-year deal in the offseason, but he has triggered an opt-out clause after going past 110 innings this year. The Giants have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games and are currently at 48-50 and 17.5 games behind the division-leading Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West. They also sit 3.5 games out of the second wild-card spot in the NL. Rodon and Pederson have both been great for the Giants this year and made the All-Star team, so they'd like to hang onto them if they think a postseason appearance is possible.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (finger) will open the second half against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The left-hander didn't pitch during the All-Star game due to a blister in his finger. This doesn't sound like an issue that is going to linger into the second half. The 29-year-old holds a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 131/35 K/BB ratio over 105 innings in his 18 starts. He'll be key to the Giants success in the second half of the season.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Carlos Rodon (finger) has a blood blister and a split nail. The southpaw allowed one run on eight hits and three walks while striking out seven across five innings in last Thursday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers. He won't pitch in the All-Star game due to his minor finger injuries. The 29-year-old has been terrific this season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and a 131:35 K: BB across 105 innings. It's unclear if Rodon will miss a start after the All-Star break, but he will have a few days off to fully recover ahead of his next start.

On Friday, San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon went just 5 1/3 innings pitched against the Cincinnati Reds. Rodon allowed three earned runs on seven hits and three walks in the Giants' 5-1 loss to the Reds. Rodon's ERA jumped to 3.60 on the season. Over 50 IP he owns a 1.24 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in nine starts. Rodon will look to get back on track against the Phillies on the road next Wednesday. Rodon remains a solid starting pitching option in all formats despite the poor outing on Friday and should remain active.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon went seven strong innings against the Cleveland Guardians in the Giants' 4-1 win on Friday. Rodon allowed only one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out nine in the impressive outing. Over 12 innings pitched on the season, in two starts, Rodon owns a 1.50 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, with 21 strikeouts. Rodon is coming off a great 2021 season having posted a 2.37 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 185 strikeouts in 132 2/3 innings over 24 starts with the White Sox. Rodon is a solid SP2 in all formats and should remain active for his next start scheduled for Wednesday against the Mets in New York in a tough matchup.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Carlos Rodon fanned four batters on just 40 pitches and generated nine swinging strikes in 2 2/3 innings in his Cactus League debut on Thursday against his former team, the Chicago White Sox. The left-hander also gave up two hits and a run but didn't walk anyone while throwing 40 pitches. Three of Rodon's strikeouts came on his fastball, which was sitting between 96-98 mph. "I could see what all the hype is about," catcher Curt Casali said. "Between that fastball and slider combination, it's legit. It's probably one of the best, if not the best, left-handed sliders I've ever seen." After posting a 2.37 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 185 strikeouts in 132 2/3 innings over 24 starts last year, Rodon is a solid SP2 target, albeit with some injury risk.

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $44 million deal with left-hander Carlos Rodon on Friday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The contract includes an opt-out clause after the first season. It's an excellent landing spot for the 29-year-old southpaw starter in terms of fantasy outlook. Rodon has had trouble with injuries and walks in the past, but he put it all together in 2021 with the Chicago White Sox, posting a 2.37 ERA and 34.6% strikeout rate in 132 2/3 innings over 24 starts in his first All-Star season. He'll be a high-reward, high-risk fantasy starter, and his fantasy ADP will only go up after this signing.

Free-agent starting pitcher Carlos Rodon has been linked to a number of teams this offseason, and the interest for him may continue to rise. According to Andy Martino of SNY, the clubs who have seen Rodon's medical information have been satisfied, indicating he is healthy going into the 2022 season. The 29-year-old has had a number of injuries over the years, but he's coming off his best season, a year in which he was able to mostly stay healthy. He went 13-5 with a 2.37 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP while averaging 12.6 K/9. The New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins are among the teams who have received medicals for Rodon.

The New York Yankees requested/received medicals for free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon before MLB's lockout began in early December. Rodon should have plenty of interest around the league once the lockout is lifted, possibly as early as Wednesday, after sporting a 2.37 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while striking out 185 and walking 36 in 132 2/3 innings over 24 starts for the Chicago White Sox in 2021. The 29-year-old southpaw has had trouble staying healthy in the past -- he had a career-high 165 innings back in 2016 -- and also had control issues as well, but if he pitches like he did last year, Rodon could be extremely valuable once again in fantasy. Pitching in the Bronx and the tough American League East has its obvious drawbacks, though.

Chicago White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon did not receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer from the team on Sunday, making him a free agent. An All-Star in 2021, the 28-year-old southpaw went 13-5 last year with a 2.37 ERA to help the team win the American League Central division. There have been indications that the Pale Hose are unlikely to re-sign Rodon after they extended right-hander Lance Lynn at the All-Star break and with Michael Kopech destined to return to a rotation that already includes Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease and Dallas Keuchel for 2022. Rodon dealt with second-half shoulder fatigue, so despite his excellent campaign, perhaps that played a part in the team not extending him the qualifying offer as well.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (arm) is on track to make his next start against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, according to White Sox manager Tony La Russa. He could also potentially start a day earlier on Tuesday. Rodon experienced arm soreness during his start against the Detroit Tigers this past Monday. The team is being a bit cautious with him and giving him extra rest prior to his next trip to the mound. Rodon is in the midst of his best season in the majors. Over 23 starts, he has gone 12-5 with a 2.47 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (arm) experienced arm soreness in his pitching arm during Monday's start against the Detroit Tigers. He was removed from the game after the third inning when he first started feeling sore. White Sox manager Tony La Russa told reporters that he was concerned after the game and said that Rodon would be examined further on Tuesday. Rodon allowed two hits, two walks and three runs (two earned) while striking out six in Monday's start. His velocity was down during the start with his last fastball clocking in at 89 mph, down from his season-long average of 95.5 mph. It sounds like the southpaw could be headed for a trip to the injured list, but we should have more clarity after he undergoes further testing on Tuesday.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) is expected to start in Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He hasn't pitched since September 1 due to shoulder soreness. The southpaw missed one turn in the rotation but is expected to be all systems go for Friday. Rodon has been impressive this season and owns a 2.41 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and a 168:32 K: BB across 119 2/3 innings in 2021. The White Sox are 11.5 games up in the AL Central and could have Rodon on a pitch count for Friday, but he should pitch long enough to produce and should be started in all league formats.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon earned a victory in Wednesday's start versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. The lefty tossed five frames and allowed five hits, one run, one walk and struck out five on the evening. The veteran has been having a career year and most importantly has maintained his health for most of the season. With his victory, Rodon is now 11-5 with an impressive 2.41 ERA. Next up for Rodon will be a matchup versus the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. He is worth starting in every matchup moving forward.
