RHP Garrett Whitlock talks rehab from hip surgery
For the first time since undergoing surgery on his right hip on Sept. 26, Whitlock was back in Boston's clubhouse. He spoke to reporters and plotted out his course of recovery, which he expects will have him back in time for Spring Training. Whitlock pitched in 31 games this season, including nine starts, going 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA. His last appearance of the season was on Sept. 16, before a joint decision was made for him to undergo an arthroscopic procedure performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly in New York.
"I’m no doctor or physical therapist, but from the knowledge I’ve gathered, it’s three months of rehab and then I’m good to start building up and going from there, throwing-wise," said Whitlock. "When I first came off the IL [in July], it was definitely better than when I went on it. Then it just slowly kept nagging on me. Then seeing the docs, they were like, 'Hey, it’s time to get this thing fixed.'"
Sox 4 Ever
A most peculiar finish to the season. Win 3 in a row against Baltimore, get annihilated 3 straight against the Jays, win the last 3 against the Rays.
