The highly anticipated spring training battle for the final starting rotation spots will have to wait, as a pair of Boston Red Sox pitchers remain sidelined.
John Farrell met with reporters at JetBlue Park on the eve of when pitchers and catchers are officially expected to report. According to the Boston Herald’s Jason Mastrodonato, the manager revealed that both Steven Wright and Drew Pomeranz are at least a week away from being able to throw off of a mound.
Wright is still recovering from a shoulder injury that brought a premature end to his breakout season.
