Manager Robin Ventura said Rodon will likely make a spot start if/when Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija serve suspensions related to the White Sox's scrum with the Royals, Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald reports.

Analysis:

Both Sale and Samardzija received five-game suspensions for their part in a battle against the Royals, and while both are currently appealing their bans, both will probably miss a start at some point in the near future. This start will probably not be the start of an extended stint in the rotation, but a solid showing could bolster Rodon's case to replace Hector Noesi or John Danks.
