Whitlock Lands on IL With Knee Inflammation After Wet-Mound Slip
The Red Sox high-leverage reliever is sidelined after a rain-game incident left him with left knee soreness that worsened over several days.
Boston placed right-hander Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list retroactive to May 25th with left knee inflammation. The injury occurred when Whitlock slipped on a rain-soaked mound during a game against the Twins. The team monitored the knee for several days before deciding to make the IL move official. Whitlock has been a key bullpen piece, posting a 2.45 ERA over 91.2 innings across the 2025 and 2026 seasons combined, with nine holds already this year.
