Whitlock Revealed to Have Pitched Through Fractured Tibia
The Red Sox reliever played through significant leg pain in the playoff push; the fracture was only confirmed via imaging after Boston's Wild Card exit.
Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock confirmed he pitched through a fractured right tibia during the latter part of the season. The injury was not fully diagnosed until imaging was performed after Boston was swept by the Yankees in the AL Wild Card round. Whitlock will not require surgery but must wear a boot for six weeks. He is expected to be healthy for spring training, barring a CBA-related lockout.
