Done for season after procedure
Whitlock (elbow) underwent an internal bracing procedure Thursday and will not pitch again in 2024, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
Whitlock avoided Tommy John reconstruction surgery and instead had an internal bracing procedure on his right elbow UCL. The surgery was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopedics Center in Birmingham, Ala. The right-hander is expected to make a full recovery, which could take between 10 and 12 months. A return at some point during the 2025 season is expected. Whitlock's 2024 season ended after four starts; he had a 1.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 18.1 innings.

Undergoing surgery Thursday
Whitlock (elbow) will undergo internal brace surgery Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Analysis
The Red Sox haven't laid out an official timeline for Whitlock's return, but the 27-year-old righty has expressed optimism that he will be able to return for the start of the 2025 season. He will close the book on 2024 with a 1.96 ERA and 1.15 WHIP alongside a 17:7 K:BB through 18.1 innings over four starts.

Could avoid Tommy John
Whitlock told reporters Saturday that he is expecting to get an internal brace procedure for his right elbow, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Whitlock is set to meet with Dr. Jeff Dugas on Wednesday, the same surgeon who performed Tommy John surgery on the right-hander in 2019, per McCaffery. Whitlock appeared optimistic that he would avoid TJ surgery and be ready for 2025, but that won't be known until after Wednesday's meeting. Whitlock made four starts for the Red Sox before landing on the 15-day injured list April 17 with a left oblique strain, but the 27-year-old was shut down from his throwing program after sustaining damage to the UCL in his right elbow. The hope now for the Red Sox is that Whitlock is able to return for the beginning of the 2025 season.
