Whitlock was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Red Sox on Wednesday with a left oblique strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Advice: Whitlock suffered the injury during Tuesday's start against the Guardians. It sounds like it's a low-grade strain and the Red Sox are just being safe, as the hope is that the right-hander will be ready to return when first eligible. It's not yet clear who will take Whitlock's spot in the rotation, but Chase Anderson is a candidate.
