What, you didn’t think we were done talking about pitcher injuries, did you? This is baseball in 2024: the game isn’t won on the field, it’s won on the orthopedic surgeon’s table. The latest arm to fall is that of Brennan Bernardino, who will go on the IL and likely be shut down for the year with dreaded elbow inflammation. Cam Booser will make the drive from Wormtown to take his place. (Mac Cerullo, Boston Herald)
Unfortunately, Liam Hendriks won’t be around to help shore up the bullpen. The righty experienced some tightness in his elbow as he continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery.
