| 4/24/25 | How Garrett Whitlock Embraced Return To Red Sox Role. The Boston Red Sox saw the best version of Garrett Whitlock in 2021 as a multi-inning reliever who changed the complexion of the bullpen. Whitlock posted a sub-2.00 ERA and he closed out the American League Wild Card Game against the New York Yankees. Boston then tried him as a starter for parts of three seasons that led to injuries and general regression. The Red Sox made the decision entering 2025 to push Whitlock back to the bullpen where he's started to find his way back to form. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/how-garrett-whitlock-embr... |

It's a great feeling for supporters of the Boston Red Sox to know their team will almost certainly be buyers at this year's trade deadline. It's Major League Baseball, so nothing should ever be taken for granted. When the deadline arrives, the Red Sox will likely concentrate their efforts on finding pitching.

| 4/17/25 | No matter the situation, Garrett Whitlock relishes role as 'Swiss Army Knife' of Red Sox bullpen. Whitlock faced seven batters in Wednesday's 1-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Rays. “He was electric,” manager Alex Cora said. All this with Whitlock only 10½ months removed from an internal brace procedure to repair a ligament tear in his elbow. A multi-inning role in high-leverage situations plays to Whitlock's strengths given he has made 23 starts in his career. Source: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/17/sports/garr... |
| 3/31/25 | Garrett Whitlock may have found his niche, and more thoughts on the Red Sox. Whitlock had a terrific rookie season as a Rule 5 pick in 2021, posting a 1.96 ERA over 46 relief appearances for a 92-win team that advanced to the ALCS. In the three seasons that followed, the righthander made 23 starts and 34 relief appearances. A series of injuries during those seasons sidetracked what appeared to be promising career to a point where a frustrated Whitlock considered retirement. The plan is to use Whitlock in a multi-inning role to serve as a bridge between the starter and the high-leverage relievers Cora wants to employ late in games.

It didn't take long to happen. In the season opener against the Texas Rangers, Cora seized the opportunity to show what he meant.

Boston selected hurler Garrett Whitlock in the Rule-5 Draft and he immediately made a big impact with the Red Sox. Whitlock has had an up-and-down stint with the Red Sox since then thanks in large part due to injuries.

| 1/11/25 | Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock Enthusiastically Confirms 2025 Role. It's been a rough couple of years for Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock. Whitlock was one of the best relievers in baseball during his rookie season, but that success led him down a difficult path in which he was constantly moved between the starting rotation and the bullpen.

| 12/10/24 | Red Sox Quietly Answered Major Question Amid Free Agency Frenzy. The Red Sox have spent the better part of three seasons experimenting with Garrett Whitlock. Whitlock was one of the best relievers in baseball during his rookie season, but that success led him down a difficult path in which he was constantly moved between the starting rotation and the bullpen.

| 12/09/24 | Red Sox know likely role for Garrett Whitlock but big 9th-inning question looms. The Red Sox' bullpen, much like most other areas of the roster, is still a ways from being fully figured out. Speaking on Day 1 of the Winter Meetings on Monday, both chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and manager Alex Cora hinted that Whitlock, who underwent internal brace surgery on his pitching elbow in late May after beginning the season in the rotation, will likely be used as a high-leverage, multi-inning reliever in 2025.

| 11/08/24 | Craig Breslow provides positive update on Red Sox RHP's rehab. The Boston Red Sox are starting to make their plans for the 2025 season with free agency starting earlier this week. One area the Red Sox will look to improve over the next few months is their pitching, both in the rotation and bullpen. Luckily, they should get a boost from Garrett Whitlock's return. Now, Whitlock should be ready to go in 2025, but Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow isn't willing to commit to a role just yet, as Whitlock has been great as a reliever (2.65 ERA in 80 games) and not as good as a starter (4.29 ERA in 23 starts).

| 11/07/24 | Boston Red Sox Reportedly Unsure How Garrett Whitlock Fits into 2025 Plans. The immediate future for Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock is up in the air. According to Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, the team isn't sure yet what role Whitlock will fill in 2025. “I think we will define it,” chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said about Whitlock's role Tuesday at the GM Meetings.

| 9/27/24 | As Garrett Whitlock takes big step, he has message for Red Sox on 2025 role. Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock took an important step in his road back from elbow surgery this week, and as he looks toward next year, his one and only focus is health. Whitlock, who underwent an internal bracing procedure on his throwing arm on May 30, played catch Thursday, marking his first time throwing a baseball since the surgery. At that juncture, the Red Sox will once again be tasked with deciding which role fits Whitlock best.
