Tommy John Surgery Recommended For Carlos Rodon

The first opinion Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) received suggested Tommy John surgery. The team is awaiting the results of a second doctor's opinion, but it's not looking good so far for the left-hander. If Rodon does indeed have elbow reconstruction, he'd be out the rest of this year part of the […]

Kelvin Herrera Day-To-Day

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (back) is day-to-day with back spasms, and he played catch on Monday.

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/7/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As baseball moves closer and closer to the three true outcomes (home runs, walks and strikeouts) the strikeout numbers can be alarming.

Eloy Jimenez Continues To Progress In Rehab

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (ankle) is scheduled to travel with the big club for their road series against the Cleveland Indians.

Kelvin Herrera Leaves Sunday's Game

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (back) left his appearance in Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox due to stiffness in his lower back. He is considered day to day.

It's uncertain who will be coming up to […]
