Garrett Whitlock pitches with fractured leg for Red Sox in September

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock ended the regular season without allowing a run in eight September appearances. A report revealed that he played through a fractured right tibia, which went undiagnosed until after the season. Although he struggled in Game 2 of the American League wild-card series against the New York Yankees, Whitlock's injury was managed with ongoing pain relief during his final month. He is not expected to require surgery. Whitlock finished the season with a 7-2 record and a 1.72 ERA in 54 relief appearances.
