Red Sox Not Concerned About Patrick Sandoval
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-hander Patrick Sandoval (biceps) is unlikely to have testing done on a sore left biceps muscle, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Instead, the Red Sox are hoping that a couple of days of rest will do the trick. The organization doesn't seem to be very concerned about his setback. Sandoval was scheduled to make his third minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment due to biceps tightness after his previous outing. The 29-year-old southpaw is working his way back from an internal-brace procedure that he had on his left elbow in June of 2024. He did not pitch at all for the BoSox in 2025 and went 2-8 with a 5.08 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.51 WHIP, and 81:35 K:BB in 79 2/3 innings pitched over 16 starts in 2024 with the Los Angeles Angels before being shut down with elbow issues. Sandoval won't be ready for his Boston debut until sometime in May, and even when he's ready, there may not be an open spot in the team's starting rotation for him.
