He's probably got some real soreness in that shoulder. He looked terrible on 5 days rest in his 2 starts prior to the Cubs start and he basically had no velocity and got hit around in both. If he could have gone tomorrow while throwing 97-99, I'm sure he would have. But he probably didn't like his bullpen session and they decided to IL him.

August 11, 20214 yr Real bummer here unless this was a designed rest and everything else is show. Whatever it is - hope nothing serious and rodon is ready to crush it come October.

August 11, 20214 yr not shocking with the amount of innings he has piled up this year and has injury history. Edited August 11, 20214 yr by ptatc

Boras was salivating for a big deal , now depending on if surgery is needed I actually think a one year with an option and innings incentives are quite doable. Disappointed though I hope he is back by end of september. We need him in the playoffs.

August 11, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ChiSox59 said: Cole has COVID The fact that he's still not off the IL after 10 days means he's probably still symptomatic. Robert and Cease came off the COVID IL in like 2 days after false positives.
August 11, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, ptatc said: Good idea. Hopefully just to rest and not an issue already. PTATC if its just rest would he be getting checked out by the docs? is rest usually helpful if in pain? honestly asking, the guy probably knows his body so well that if he feels something he knows its really something.
August 11, 20214 yr Rodon got placed on the IL last year around the same time after he was throwing 88 MPH against Milwaukee. He came back by September.

Yeah, I posted this before I read the whole thread. There is still the possibility that it's just a check to be sure there are no issues. However, more than likely there were some symptoms in the shoulder and they want to check it out.
August 11, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, TheTruth05 said: Don't buy this. They aren't doing an MRI if there aren't some kind of symptoms. They may think the symptoms are nothing and doing the MRI out of caution but he felt something. Hopefully it is nothing that the break can't help.
