Red Sox notebook: Bullpen taking shape as Whitlock returns from IL

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:28:42 GMT

As injuries have mounted over the past few weeks the Red Sox have been forced to rely on a number of Triple-A call-ups and depth arms to help keep the ship afloat.It hasn’t always been pretty, but as the club returns to full health the bullpen is beginning to take shape.Garrett Whitlock was activated from the injured list on Sunday and is expected to return to the multi-inning relief role in which he dominated as a rookie two years ago.
