When it’s rained, it’s poured for the Red Sox so far in the 2022 season.
Starting pitcher Michael Wacha, who has been one of the few pleasant surprises for Boston through the first month of the year, was placed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday due to intercoastal irritation. Wacha was originally scheduled to start Sunday’s series finale against the White Sox but was scratched hours before first pitch due to side soreness following his latest bullpen session.
After signing a one-year deal with Boston over the offseason, Wacha’s gone 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA over five starts.
