Garrett Whitlock appears to be heading back to a similar role that he had more success in when he returns from his elbow injury.
The Red Sox pitcher will likely pitch out of the bullpen again once he completes his upcoming rehab stint.
“We’re going to meet today to see where we’re at,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Friday. “I think there’s a good chance we’ll use him the way we did in ’21, multiple-inning reliever and go from there.”
Whitlock has exclusively pitched as a starter this season as the Red Sox returned him to the role he had in the minors when he was with the Yankees.
