The Red Sox’ starting rotation might be at full strength for the first time this season before they finish their nine-game West Coast trip next weekend.
Garrett Whitlock has a “good chance” to start Saturday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Sunday.
Whitlock made his final rehab start with Triple-A Worcester earlier Sunday, pitching 4 2/3 scoreless innings as he allowed four hits, one walk, and struck out four hitters. He threw 79 pitches in the effort.
This is the second time this season that Whitlock has had rehab outings.
