Rough debut against Rays Whitlock (0-1) took the loss Tuesday as Boston was steamrolled 7-2 by Tampa Bay, coughing up five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- over five innings. He struck ou...

Impact Making his season debut after completing his recovery from hip surgery last September, Whitlock ran into the buzzsaw known as the undefeated Rays. The 26-year-old righty tossed 62 of 85 pitches for strikes and showed good control, but his command may not be quite there yet as Isaac Paredes, Yandy Diaz and Brandon Lowe all took him deep in the fourth and fifth innings. Whitlock will look to rebound in his next outing, likely to come this weekend at home against the Angels.

Making season debut Tuesday Whitlock (hip) was in the Red Sox's clubhouse Saturday and said he's scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the Rays, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact The 26-year-old made his second minor-league rehab start Thursday and allowed just one run on one hit with eight strikeouts and one walk over six innings. Whitlock began the season on the shelf while finishing up his rehab from last September's hip surgery, but he's poised to make his season debut Tuesday in Tampa Bay.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sharp in rehab outing Whitlock (hip) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk while striking out eight and walking one across six innings in a rehab outing with Double-A Portland on Thursday.

Impact Whitlock is still recovering from surgery on his hip that he underwent last September, but he is expected to make his season debut Tuesday at Tampa Bay. He's been sharp in two rehab appearances, completing 10 innings while allowing only two earned runs and punching out 14 between Boston's two highest minor-league affiliates. It's unclear if he'll be on a pitch count in his initial starts, but his ability to pitch deep into Thursday's outing is a positive sign.

APRIL 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to debut Tuesday Whitlock (hip) is likely to make his season debut Tuesday against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Whitlock will make another rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, and assuming that outing goes well he'll make his season debut in St. Petersburg against the Rays. The right-hander underwent hip surgery in the offseason and the Red Sox have understandably been cautious in his recovery process. Managers should keep in mind that Whitlock may not be able to go deep in early outings once back, but his stuff is good enough to provide relevance relatively quickly.

Next start coming Thursday Whitlock (hip) is scheduled to pitch Thursday for Double-A Portland, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Whitlock, who had a successful outing for Triple-A Worcester on Friday , will make at least one more appearance. If there are no setbacks following his start for the Sea Dogs, Whitlock will be activated to join the Red Sox. His season debut will likely occur during Boston's four-game series in Tampa, which begins April 10.

Allows one over four in Triple-A Whitlock (hip) allowed one run over four innings in Friday's rehab start for Triple-A Worcester.

Impact Whitlock allowed six hits with a walk, and he struck out six. The right-hander is making his way back from hip surgery that he underwent last September, and it's encouraging to see some positive results and a full four frames. Whitlock is expected to make one more start at the Triple-A level, and if everything goes well he'll be back on the bump as soon as April 11 for a start against Tampa Bay.

Making first rehab start Friday Whitlock (hip) is scheduled to make a rehab start Friday for Triple-A Worcester, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Though he missed out on a spot on the Red Sox's Opening Day roster while he continues to build back from the right hip surgery he underwent last September, Whitlock will take the hill for the Triple-A club's season opener. Abraham's report doesn't specify what Whitlock's workload will look like in his outing with Worcester, but considering he covered four innings and 63 pitches in a minor-league game at spring training a week ago, the right-hander could push toward the five-inning or 75-pitch range Friday. After Friday, Whitlock is expected to make one more start for Worcester on April 5 before coming off the 15-day injured list and making his Boston debut as soon as April 11 versus the Rays.

Goes on IL The Red Sox placed Whitlock (hip) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact While he works his way back to full health following the right hip surgery he underwent last September, Whitlock will open the season on the shelf and miss his first turn through the rotation. Whitlock hasn't hit any snags in his recovery and most recently through a four-inning, 63-pitch outing in a minor-league game at spring training, so he already appears to be on his way to getting fully stretched out. He'll likely make a minor-league rehab start before coming off the IL when he's first eligible April 11 or shortly thereafter.

Throws four minor-league innings Whitlock (hip) threw 63 pitches across four innings in a minor-league game Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Whitlock is set to open the year on the injured list after building up slowly this spring as he recovers from September hip surgery. He's making good progress, however, and is scheduled to start Triple-A Worcester's home opener March 30. Given that he's already up to four innings of work, he should be ready to handle a starter's workload once he's activated off the injured list.

Making rehab start March 31 Whitlock (hip) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on March 31, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact It will be Worcester's Opening Day and could be the only rehab outing Whitlock requires before joining the Red Sox' rotation. The right-hander is healthy but has been brought along slowly in camp following offseason hip surgery.

MARCH 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for injured list Whitlock (hip) will begin the season on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Whitlock made his first spring training start Monday, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the 26-year-old righty will need to make three more starts before he's ready to rejoin Boston's rotation. Those three starts (plus four rest days between each start) put him in line to return by mid-April.

Needs three more ramp-up starts Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Whitlock (hip) who is scheduled to pitch in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, will likely require three more starts to build...

Impact Based on that timeline, Cora confirmed that Whitlock won't be in consideration for making the Red Sox's fifth start of the regular season, likely paving the way for Kutter Crawford to break camp as the final member of the team's rotation. Whitlock is scheduled to pitch three innings Monday before covering four innings in his next outing and then five innings in his final two starts prior to coming off the injured list, according to Cora. Assuming he sticks to a normal four-day rest schedule between those outings, Whitlock would be on pace to be activated as soon as April 9.
