Carlos Rodon (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery later this week.

Fantasy Impact

This has been the way things were headed for a week now, and Rodon has decided to opt for surgery. It's a major bummer for the 26-year-old southpaw, who has yet to put it all together at the big league level since being the third overall pick in the 2014 draft. Rodon is expected to be sidelined until mid-way through 2020, at least.

A doctor has recommended that Carlos Rodon undergo Tommy John surgery on his injured elbow. The White Sox are awaiting a second opinion on the injury before making a decision on how to proceed.

Fantasy Impact

The expectations were not positive when the injury initially occurred, so this isn't a huge surprise. It's still disappointing considering the promise Rodon has shown in the early going. The former top prospect will likely be shelved for the remainder of the season if the first opinion holds and into next season. If owners haven't already, they can move on from the left-hander.

The White Sox placed Carlos Rodon on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

Fantasy Impact

Rodon has been hit hard in his past two starts, allowing 11 runs in just 6 2/3 innings. Overall, he has a 3-2 record, 5.19 ERA, and 46 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings of work. He will hope to bounce back in his next start against the Indians.
