Garrett Whitlock - Page 13 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Notches two-inning save Whitlock struck out two batters over two scoreless innings and earned a save over the Guardians on Monday.

Impact Whitlock fired 15 of 19 pitches for strikes and had no trouble mowing down Cleveland's lineup. It was his second save of the year and first since April 19. In four appearances since returning from the injured list, Whitlock has punched out nine batters over six shutout frames. It's unclear how Boston plans to use its bullpen moving forward as John Schreiber earned the win and Tanner Houck did not pitch Monday.

Works two scoreless innings Whitlock struck out three over two scoreless innings in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

Impact Whitlock, making his first appearance after being activated off the injured list, held Boston's one-run lead by setting down the side in order over the seventh and eighth innings. He had been a starter before hitting the IL, but Whitlock will serve a multi-inning relief role that could involve save opportunities. Closer Tanner Houck eventually blew the save Friday, but he's pitched well otherwise while stabilizing Boston's ninth-inning relief issues.

Reinstated from injured list Whitlock (hip) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Impact Whitlock served mainly as a starter for the Red Sox early in the season, posting a 3.51 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 48.2 innings over 13 appearances (nine starts). However, he served as a multi-inning reliever during his rehab assignment and allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings over two appearances. The right-hander will pitch out of the bullpen for Boston following his activation, which will hinder his fantasy value since he isn't expected to be a regular part of the team's ninth-inning mix. Whitlock will be one of the top options to fill in as a starter if needed.

Impact Whitlock will be making his return to the Red Sox as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen, even though he enjoyed a good deal of success in his nine starts for Boston prior to landing on the IL on June 10 with right hip inflammation. Though the Red Sox view Whitlock as a starter over the long haul, the organization is hopeful that the bullpen role will maximize the right-hander's effectiveness and preserve his overall health. Since he's not expected to regularly factor into the equation for saves with Tanner Houck and John Schreiber having seemingly established themselves as the preferred options at the back end of the bullpen, Whitlock's fantasy value could take a big hit as he steps into a relief role, though he should still have some appeal as a ratio stabilizer. Whitlock is scheduled to make a two-inning rehab appearance Tuesday for Double-A Portland before the Red Sox formally activate him for the weekend series with the Yankees.

Next rehab outing coming Tuesday Whitlock (hip) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The upcoming outing will mark Whitlock's second rehab appearance, after he previously tossed two innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday and struck out three while giving up two earned runs on six hits and no walks. He'll likely be on tap for another multi-inning appearance Tuesday, and if all goes well, Whitlock should rejoin the Red Sox thereafter. After making nine starts prior to landing on the injured list, Whitlock is set to serve as a high-leverage, multi-inning reliever for Boston upon being activated.

Another rehab outing likely Whitlock (hip) is expected to make one more rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester, likely to be Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Whitlock threw two innings for the WooSox on Friday, giving up a pair of runs on six hits while recording three strikeouts. The hip got a workout on the mound and in backing up a few bases, manager Alex Cora joked with reporters. Worcester will be on the road in Norfolk (Va.) this week, and there's a chance Whitlock joins the Red Sox during their series against Tampa Bay after Tuesday's outing.

Impact Whitlock threw 26 strikes among 34 pitches over the fifth and six innings and wasn't hit particularly hard, per Katie Morrison of MassLive.com; however, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre batters were able to bunch hits together. "They jumped him, really," WooSox manager Chad Tracy said. "That happens in rehab appearances, they know guys are trying to get back on their feet, so they kind of jumped him. Couple soft hits, there were a couple squared up." Most of the damage came in the fifth when both runs scored on four hits; the sixth was cleaner but the RailRaiders managed another two hits. Whitlock is rehabbing for a return to Boston as a multi-inning reliever.

Rehab appearance coming Friday Whitlock (hip) is slated to make a 1-to-2-inning rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Red Sox manager Alex Cora has already said that Whitlock will be deployed out of the bullpen upon returning from the 15-day injured list, so the right-hander may only need one or two appearances in the minors prior to being activated. Tanner Houck and John Schreiber have emerged as the top options at the back end of the bullpen, but Whitlock could still see the occasional save chance while serving as a multi-inning, high-leverage relief arm.
