MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Chicago White Sox placed left-hander Carlos RodÃ³n on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with left shoulder fatigue.

RodÃ³n was headed back to Chicago on Wednesday to receive further testing. Chicago manager Tony La Russa said the team made the move to the injured list based on RodÃ³n's complaints of soreness and fatigue in his throwing shoulder.

"Hoping it's a short break and he'll be back sooner than later,'ť La Russa said.

RodÃ³n is 9-5 with a 2.38 ERA in 19 starts this season and was an All-Star for the first time in his career. Right-handed reliever Matt Foster was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte.

RodÃ³n was scheduled to start Thursday's Field of Dreams game in Iowa against the Yankees. La Russa altered his starting rotation as a result, pushing Lance Lynn back a day to start Thursday and having Reynaldo LÃ³pez start a bullpen game on Wednesday in the series finale at Minnesota.

La Russa also announced that he wouldn't be with the team in Iowa. He will be attending a funeral after a death in his family. Miguel Cairo will manage the White Sox.
