Garrett Whitlock - Expected to return as reliever Whitlock (elbow) will likely join Boston's bullpen once he comes off the 15-day injured list, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Whitlock has never topped 78.1 innings in a big-league season, and may fall shy of that mark again this year (sitting on 51.2 innings). Meanwhile, Tanner Houck (face) is expected to get stretched out and return as a starting pitcher.
