Red Sox Place Reliever Garrett Whitlock on Injured List
Whitlock’s absence leaves Boston without its primary setup man, while Weissert returns after pitching in 48 games this season.
- The Boston Red Sox placed reliever Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow inflammation, recalling right-handed pitcher Greg Weissert from Triple-A Worcester to fill his roster spot.
- Whitlock, who had Tommy John surgery in 2019 and an internal brace procedure in 2024, appeared in 13 games over 27 days recently, describing the elbow issue as "building" over the past few weeks.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy revealed postgame that Whitlock had been dealing with "a little bit of inflammation in his elbow," and did not use him during Wednesday's 1-1 tie.
- Without Whitlock, the primary setup man, the Red Sox fell 6-4 to the Blue Jays on Wednesday and must rely on righthanders Tyron Guerrero and Justin Slaten, plus lefthander Erik Miller, for high-leverage situations.
- Whitlock has not undergone an MRI, noting his concern for "drastic measures" remains low as the team monitors his recovery following the 15-day injured list placement.
