White Sox ALDS roster: Rodon in, Keuchel out
HOUSTON - The White Sox announced their 26-man playoff roster before meeting the Astros in Game 1 of the American League division series Thursday afternoon at Minute Maid Park.
Two decisions are notable: Carlos Rodon is in and Dallas Keuchel is out.
Rodon, who has been bothered by a sore left shoulder, could get a start in Game 3. If a Game 4 is needed in the best-of-five series, Rodon is also an option.
Keuchel was moved to the bullpen late in the season after going 9-9 with a 5.18 ERA in 30 starts.
Here's the Sox's roster:
RIGHT-HANDED PITCHERS
Dylan Cease, Lucas Giolito, Liam Hendriks, Craig Kimbrel, Michael Kopech, Reynaldo Lopez, Lance Lynn, Jose Ruiz, Ryan Tepera.
LEFT-HANDED PITCHERS
