September 4, 20205 yr Good Morning Anyone have any updates on these 3. Our bullpen seems to be staggering and would be great to have Gio and especially ABum in the pen. I still want to see if Carlos can pitch well as a 5th if healthy.
September 4, 20205 yr Bummer - has a nerve issue, just hope he returns before october Rodon - throwing in Schaumburg, hopefully next week GG - should be next week too This info was mostly shared in RHs recent press conference after trade deadline passed.
September 4, 20205 yr I don't think Bummer is coming back soon. They said Gonzalez might be back by Sunday. Rodon will likely be back soon.

Should have learned. I really wish they would just make him a dominant bullpen guy at this point. Not sure he will be worth the 5mil or so next season. What a frustrating dude this guy has been.

Unfortunately, we need Rodon in the rotation now. Probably going to piggy back Rodon and Gio G to start.

September 4, 20205 yr Rodon supposedly threw 60(?) pitches in Schaumburg last weekend. Haven't heard anything more beyond Keuchel saying Rodon could start or come out of the pen after the trade deadline passed. GioG's IL stint is retroactive to Aug 27th so he would be eligible to come off this weekend. Haven't seen anything further since he went on the IL on Aug 30.
September 4, 20205 yr With 2 off days next week, Sox won’t need a 5th starter til the 4 game series against the Twins starting September 14th. Rodon can be lined up to pitch the first or second game of that series.

Bummer moved to the 45 day DL. Done for 2020. This is gigantic loss for our 2020 hopes. The bullpen will need some divine intervention.

September 5, 20205 yr 100% the right decision on Bummer. I wouldn't have him pitch at all till next season. He is way too important for the future in our pen.
September 5, 20205 yr 11 minutes ago, DoUEvenShift said: He can return September 23rd. Bleacher Report said "effectively done" for 2020.
September 5, 20205 yr Just now, poppysox said: Bleacher Report said "effectively done" for 2020. Bleacher Report isn't correct.
September 5, 20205 yr 13 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: Bleacher Report isn't correct. I hope you are correct.
September 5, 20205 yr 4 minutes ago, poppysox said: I hope you are correct. I'm not saying he'll be back. The 45 day DL is meaningless though because it's retroactive.

September 6, 20205 yr Man I feel for Carlos, such potential, just made of glass. I don’t think he’ll attempt to convert to the BP either, due to his agent and his competitive nature. What are the chances he doesn’t throw a pitch as a White Sox again?

Rodon could potentially make more money in the future as an elite reliever than he would as a constantly injured starting pitcher.

If the Sox don't non-tender him, he's going to have to adjust to not starting. I just can't see the FO going into next season, a season with real expectations, penciling Rodon in every 5th day again. Too many question marks in the rotation as it is. At best he is the long man/spot starter/piggy back off Cease & Dunning until Kopech is up.
