Watch: White Sox pitcher Carlos Rodon struck in head by line drive image

White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon was forced to leave his minor league rehab start Thursday after he was struck in the head by a line drive.

The ball, hit by Norfolk's D'Arby Myers, caromed off Rodon's forehead and into shallow left field, where Charlotte third baseman Jake Elmore caught it for an out.

There has been no word on the severity of Rodon's injury.
