Marcelo Mayer - Bothered by sore wrist Mayer has missed a week of action with a sore right wrist, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports.

Impact The Red Sox don't know exactly how Mayer picked up the injury, but they have taken the cautious route with one of their top prospects. He will miss a few more days, but the injury is not considered serious, so it should not be too long before he is back in the lineup.

J.D. Martinez - Expected to start Sunday Manager Alex Cora expects Martinez (groin) to start Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Martinez was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game, but Cora's comments -- and the fact Martinez will be available to pinch hit Saturday -- suggest that was only a precautionary measure.

Tanner Houck - Remains in bullpen for now Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Houck will continue to pitch out of the bullpen for now, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Houck's last two appearances came out of the bullpen to work around his placement on the restricted list, and he struck out six in 4.2 scoreless innings. Garrett Whitlock has impressed this season, so he'll draw the start Wednesday against the Angels. However, Cora didn't commit to Whitlock as a long-term starter, so it's certainly possible Houck rejoins the rotation at some point.

Garrett Whitlock - Starting Wednesday Whitlock will start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Whitlock has been dominant over six appearances (two starts) this season, posting a 0.54 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in 16.2 innings. The right-hander's start against the Blue Jays on Thursday happened since Tanner Houck was on the restricted list due to his vaccination status. However, Whitlock made enough of an impression to draw at least one more start, while Houck will continue to pitch out of the bullpen. Manager Alex Cora didn't commit to Whitlock as a long-term starter and instead said that his role will be determined one turn at a time.

J.D. Martinez - Scratched from Saturday's lineup Martinez (groin) was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Martinez was initially slated to return from a two-game absence Saturday, but he's apparently still dealing with his adductor injury. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench, but Christian Arroyo will step in as the designated hitter and bat sixth.
