Grabs win Saturday Whitlock (1-1) allowed a hit and two strikeouts over 1.2 innings, earning the win Saturday versus the Yankees.
Impact Whitlock allowed one of starter Eduardo Rodriguez's inherited runners to score in the sixth inning, which tied the game at 3-3.

He's added one save and five holds, which indicates he could continue to see some high-leverage work.

Feeling side effects Whitlock was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Saturday after feeling effects from the vaccine, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Whitlock's absence should not be lengthy, as he can activated as soon as he is feeling well enough to pitch. He's been effective out of the bullpen this season for Boston, maintaining a 1.77 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with a 21:3 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Corrals first save Whitlock allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over three scoreless innings to earn the save in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.
Impact Whitlock was stretched out enough to finish the final three innings and claim the first save of his career. He's normally a middle reliever that works multiple innings, but Whitlock has earned the chance to throw high-leverage if needed. As manager Alex Cora continues to search for the right late-game mix -- Darwinzon Hernandez is failing that test right now -- Whitlock could emerge as an important piece in the final third of games.

The Rule 5 pick still has a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 15.1 innings.
