Red Sox Pitcher Patrick Sandoval Nearing Return From Injury Rehab
Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Patrick Sandoval is close to returning from injury rehab. The 29-year-old will throw another live batting practice session late next week before playing in at least one minor league game.
Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Patrick Sandoval is making progress in his comeback from injury and could rejoin the team soon. The 29-year-old will throw another live batting practice session late next week before participating in at least one minor league scrimmage game.
The Red Sox are taking a careful approach with Sandoval's return, focusing on his long-term health as he rebuilds arm strength. The team wants to make sure he's fully ready before bringing him back to the major league roster.
Sandoval's return would give Boston another experienced starting pitcher as they work to improve their rotation. The left-hander represents a significant investment for the organization and could provide valuable depth for the remainder of the season.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox also got back pitcher Ovis Bastardo after he was returned from the Toronto Blue Jays. Bastardo couldn't make Toronto's opening day roster and was sent back to Boston, giving the Red Sox another young arm to develop.
Getting Sandoval back gives the Red Sox another starting pitcher option as they compete for a playoff spot. His return could strengthen their rotation for the rest of the season.
Watch for Sandoval's live batting practice session late next week and his minor league appearance.
