The Red Sox’ starting rotation has arguably been their weak link in the first seven games of the season, but they expect some new faces and rearrangement soon.
First up, the return of Garrett Whitlock. Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed to reporters Saturday that Whitlock will start Tuesday against the Rays after completing his second rehab start of the season on Thursday. Whitlock allowed one run on one hit, one walk, and eight strikeouts in six innings pitched with Double-A Portland.
Whitlock told reporters prior to Saturday’s game against the Tigers that his outing “felt good” and he feels ready to get going.
