Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock on IL with oblique injury
Whitlock, who is 1-0 with a 1.96 ERA in four starts this season, left Tuesday’s game after four innings in Boston’s 10-7 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
Left-hander Joe Jacques was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill Whitlock’s roster spot.
Lucas Giolito and prospect Chris Murphy have had Tommy John surgery this spring and won’t return until 2025. Nick Pivetta also is on the injured list with a strained elbow flexor.
