Elbow Inflammation Delays Tigers' Melton Ahead of Opening Day

Detroit right-hander Troy Melton has halted his throwing program with elbow inflammation, putting Opening Day in doubt. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said the issue isn’t believed to be long-term and Melton could return soon after a brief IL stint; the young pitcher impressed as a rookie with a 2.76 ERA in 45 2/3 innings and remains in the club’s plans, though the Tigers will be cautious and possibly keep him stretched out in the minors if needed.

Red Sox Make Roster Moves, Whitlock on IL and Paxton on Paternity List

The Boston Red Sox have placed right-hander Garrett Whitlock on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation. Whitlock left Sunday's game early due to elbow tightness, and while the team is not overly concerned, his absence adds to the rotation's current shortage. With Chris Sale and Tanner Houck already on the injured list, the Red Sox have been relying on a four-man rotation and bullpen days. Left-hander James Paxton was also placed on the paternity list, further depleting the pitching staff. Whitlock's ongoing injury setbacks hinder his progress as a starting pitcher, as he had previously transitioned from a successful rookie season as a reliever.
