Garrett Whitlock is quietly having one of his best seasons in Boston, anchoring the late innings with Chapman and leading the team in relief innings and strikeouts. From multi-inning shutdowns to high-leverage strikeouts, Whitlock has embraced his defined bullpen role after years of role changes and injuries, giving the Red Sox a consistent weapon during their postseason push. Meanwhile, rising prospect David Sandlin has transitioned from the rotation to the bullpen in Triple-A, flashing upper-90s velocity, a deep pitch mix, and the kind of upside that could make him a September or even playoff factor. Both pitchers reflect Boston's focus on building a dominant relief corps for October.
