Patrick Sandoval begins rehab assignment as Red Sox eye future use
Summary

Patrick Sandoval is set to start a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox on Friday, marking his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery. The 29-year-old left-hander, who joined the Boston Red Sox after spending six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, is expected to pitch one inning under a 20-pitch limit. Following this outing, the Red Sox plan to stretch him out as a starter on a regular routine. Sandoval has not played in the MLB since June 2024 due to injury issues that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season.
