Garrett Whitlock Stats

Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday. Whitlock is dealing with inflammation in his right hip. The issue must have gotten worse throughout the day because manager Alex Cora initially told reporters that he didn't expect Whitlock to miss his scheduled start against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. The Red Sox have yet to announce their plans for who will be the new starter against Seattle on Sunday, but Cora hinted that a bullpen day could be in the plans, depending on how Friday's game goes. Look for an update on Whitlock's timetable in the next few days.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock (hip) has been dealing with an injury for recent weeks. This hip tightness could explain why Whitlock has been inconsistent throughout the season. The Red Sox have been using Whitlock in the starting rotation with their starters being banged up. However, he could return to the bullpen once Chris Sale (ribs) is able to get back on the field. It doesn't sound like the team plans on placing Whitlock on the injured list. Although, things could quickly change, assuming his performance doesn't improve.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Whitlock earned his second win of the season against the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on five hits across six innings. He managed to complete his outing with only seventy pitches, including fifty strikes, and did not walk or strike out any batters. This is Whitlock's second consecutive quality start, and he has only allowed more than three earned runs in one of his twelve outings this season. Whitlock will not offer top-end strikeout numbers, with just 33 in 35 innings since moving to the rotation, but he's an excellent option for run prevention.
