Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval scouted by teams ahead of July 4 deadline
Summary

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Patrick Sandoval is being evaluated by other MLB teams during his final rehab outing, which is crucial as the Red Sox need to activate him by July 4. Sandoval, who has a 4.01 ERA, has not pitched since 2024 due to injury and has maintained a 4.34 ERA in his seven rehab appearances this season. With team performance in a struggle this summer, the Red Sox may opt to trade him instead of integrating him back into their roster. The team will need to make a decision soon as teams have shown interest in acquiring Sandoval, possibly for a strategic trade package. His 30-day rehab assignment ends soon, heightening the urgency for Boston's management to act.
