Garrett Whitlock is set to throw a live batting practice on Wednesday at LoanDepot Park as he aims to return from the injured list due to elbow soreness. The Red Sox, nearing the end of the season, are focusing on getting healthy players back, with attention also on Roman Anthony, Trevor Story, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Whitlock has a 2.05 ERA in 45 games this season, contributing to the Red Sox bullpen's status as the best in Major League Baseball. His return would enhance an already strong bullpen alongside Erik Miller and Aroldis Chapman.
