Garrett Whitlock Stats

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (hip) will undergo hip surgery next week and will be shut down for the rest of the 2022 season. The Red Sox are hoping that he'll be ready to go again for spring training next year. There's a good chance that the 26-year-old was pitching through pain for much of the season. Whitlock had allowed seven runs on 10 hits while walking two and striking out 10 in seven innings in his last five appearances, so something clearly wasn't right. He'll finish his second season in the big leagues with a 4-2 record, 3.45 ERA (3.29 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, six saves and 82 strikeouts in 78 1/3 innings covering 31 appearances (nine starts). Whitlock was much more effective as a reliever for Boston.

The Boston Red Sox will activate right-handers Nathan Eovaldi (back) and Garrett Whitlock (hip) from the injured list before Friday's game against the division-rival New York Yankees, according to skipper Alex Cora. Eovaldi will pitch the series opener on Friday, while Whitlock will return to a bullpen role. Eovaldi was out for more than a month with lower back and hip issues, and he wasn't fully stretched out during his minor league rehab assignment, so he'll be a risky fantasy start against the first-place Yanks in his return. But the 32-year-old veteran should remain rostered in all formats, as he's returning to a 4-2 record, 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 72 K's over 68 1/3 innings across 12 starts. Whitlock will lose most of his fantasy appeal in relief, outside of the deepest of leagues.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock (hip) is expected to return from the injured list this weekend. The 26-year-old made it through his second minor league rehab outing on Tuesday. He didn't experience any issues, so Whitlock is set to return to the bullpen. He holds a 3.51 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 49/11 K/BB ratio over 48 2/3 innings on the season. It's unlikely that Whitlock carries reliable fantasy value unless he moves into the starting rotation or becomes the full-time closer. Until then, it's tough to trust Whitlock to produce reliable value.
