The Red Sox are putting an end to the Garrett Whitlock, starting pitcher experience, at least for now.
Whitlock will “likely” pitch out of the bullpen when he returns from his hip inflammation injury, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters on Saturday.
“We were talking about taking care of him and all that but it will be what we did last year, multiple-inning guy,” Cora said. “And that’s going to, rehab-wise, I don’t want to say it’s easier but it’s a different one. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow and we’ll make a decision after that.
