The biggest problem was easily the starting pitching. The Red Sox are making the preliminary moves in attempts to improve that part of the team.</p><p>According to MassLive reporter <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo/status/1590467913605345280" rel="noopener">Chris Cotillo</a>, Garrett Whitlock is headed toward the starting rotation and he might not be alone.</p><p>“Red Sox told Garrett Whitlock he will almost certainly be a starter in 2023, per Brian O’Halloran. They also plan to have Tanner Houck build up as a starter but there’s still a chance he could pitch out of the bullpen,” Cotillo tweeted.</p><p>Boston is planning on building up Tanner Houck’s arm strength to add him to the rotation as well.</p><p>Whitlock was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garrett_Whitlock" rel="noopener">initially selected</a> by the New York Yankees in the 18th round of the 2017 MLB Draft. The Red Sox acquired him following Tommy John surgery in 2020. Last season, he showed off his abilities at times. Boston used him in a number of roles, including starting, as a set up man and as the Red Sox closer. He pitched to a 3.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 82 K’s over 78 1/3 innings.</p><p>He was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-boston-bullpen-set-to-get-desperately-needed-help-with-garrett-whitlock-injury-update" rel="noopener">shut down late in the season</a> and underwent hip surgery in October. The expectation is that he will be ready to begin the season as one of the five starters for the Red Sox.</p><p>Chris Sale, James Paxton and Kutter Crawford all dealt with injuries last season. Michael Wacha was the team’s best starter with a surprisingly exceptional season. But he is a free agent and unlikely to return to Boston.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Fresh off an appearance in the Divisional Series, the team has suffered many injuries and setbacks this year. They still sit at an amazing record (45-38), to be fair. However, they’re going to be facing stiff competition from the entire conference (and even their own division!).</p><p>Thankfully, help is on the way for the Red Sox. Two of their best arms from the last few years are making their way back from their respective injuries. Garrett Whitlock, along with Nathan Eovaldi, have both been assigned to their Triple-A affiliate to work their way back from injuries. (<a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/red-sox-injuries-nathan-eovaldi-garrett-whitlock-pitch-triple-worcester">via NBC Sports</a>)</p><p>Last season, Whitlock emerged as one of the more dependable arms from the Red Sox’ bullpen. The relief pitcher recorded an 8-4 record in 2022 along with 2 saves, while posting an ERA of 1.96. This season, he’s been asked to start games for the depleted Boston roster.</p><p>That experiment hasn’t worked out well for the Red Sox reliever. Whitlock started in 9 of his 13 appearances this season. While he does have a 2-1 record, Whitlock’s ERA has ballooned to 3.51; not a great indicator of things to come.</p><p>The good news for the Red Sox is that Whitlock will be likely returning to his usual post in the bullpen once he returns. Eovaldi and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/red-sox-news-chris-sale-angrily-reacts-to-temper-tantrum-being-caught-on-video/">Chris Sale</a> will be returning to the roster sooner than later. With those two back in action, Whitlock will most likely return to his comfort zone: saving his team’s behind when their pitchers falter in their games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
