BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox positioned right-handed starter Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured checklist on Tuesday with proper elbow irritation.
Whitlock left his most up-to-date begin on Saturday in Toronto after one inning due to what was introduced as “right elbow tightness.”
Before Tuesday’s recreation at Fenway Park in opposition to Texas, supervisor Alex Cora mentioned Whitlock had a “bone bruise.”
Cora mentioned the membership will re-assess Whitlock’s damage subsequent week.
Whitlock, 27, is 4-3 with a 5.23 ERA in 10 begins this season.
In addition, left-hander James Paxton, who was the AL Pitcher of the Month in June, was positioned on paternity depart.
The 34-year-old Paxton is 4-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 9 begins this season.
To fill their spots on the roster, the crew recalled left-hander Brandon Walter and right-hander Tayler Scott from Triple-A Worcester.
