"Garrett's in a great spot. He's put a lot of work in this offseason. He threw live BP last week, too. He's a full go and ready to compete for that rotation spot. Today was very promising. His (pitch) shapes are locked, and his arsenal is in a good spot. He's trending in the right direction, and I think priority is his health, so he's in a really good spot now."
The Red Sox have shuffled Whitlock between the rotation and the bullpen each of the last two seasons, which not-so-coincidentally coincided with the injuries we detailed above. Boston's steadfast in its approach with the 27-year-old, however, believing he has an opportunity to find success in the role.
