Goes to 60-day IL The Red Sox placed Sandoval (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Sandoval's move to the 60-day IL opened up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Alex Bregman, whom the Red Sox officially signed to a three-year, $120 million contract. After he was non-tendered by the Angels early in the offseason, Sandoval caught on with the Red Sox in December on a two-year, $18.25 million contract. Sandoval underwent internal brace surgery on his left elbow in June and is unlikely to be ready to contribute for the Red Sox until the second half of the 2025 season.

Gets $18.25M deal from Boston The Red Sox signed Sandoval (elbow) to a two-year, $18.25 million contract Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sandoval underwent internal brace surgery in June and was non-tendered by the Angels last month. He will be sidelined until the second half of the 2025 season but nonetheless landed a strong contract from the Red Sox. It's a fit that makes sense on paper, as Sandoval has strong secondary pitches but a weak fastball and the Red Sox leaned on non-fastballs in 2024 under the guidance of new pitching coach Andrew Bailey.

Non-tendered by Halos The Angels non-tendered Sandoval on Friday.
Impact Sandoval underwent an internal brace surgery after tearing the UCL in his left elbow in late June, an injury that will take a full year to recover from. Despite the length of his rehab and a poor 5.08 ERA across 16 starts in 2024 prior to his injury, Sandoval may be able to catch on with a team looking to add a southpaw to its rotation.

Diagnosed with torn UCL Sandoval told reporters Monday that he has a high-grade flexor tear and a torn UCL in his left elbow, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Sandoval was removed in the third inning of Friday's start against the Dodgers, and he was placed on the injured list Saturday. The injury is more severe than what was originally labelled a left elbow strain, and the 27-year-old southpaw will have to undergo surgery. Whether Sandoval undergoes an internal brace procedure or Tommy John has yet to be determined, but he will be out of action for at least a year. Prior to the injury, Sandoval was 2-8 over 16 starts with a 5.08 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 81:35 K:BB over 79.2 innings.

Put on IL Sandoval was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left elbow strain.
Impact Sandoval was removed from Friday's start in the third inning with what was initially labeled left forearm tightness, but he's actually dealing with an elbow strain. While he becomes eligible to return from the IL in early July, the Angels could opt to play it safe with the 27-year-old and keep him out until the All-Star break. Guillermo Zuniga was called up in a corresponding move, though Zuniga won't take Sandoval's spot in the rotation.
