The righty is coming back from serious elbow problems and the organization isn't sure yet if he'll be a starter or a reliever next season.
According to Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, the team isn't sure yet what role Whitlock will fill in 2025. He's been both a starter and a reliever in the past, but his 2025 destination won't come into focus until the rest of the offseason plays out and the roster is set.
First and foremost, Whitlock is coming off season-ending elbow surgery that limited him to just four starts in 2024. Unfortunately, injuries have been a theme for him. He had Tommy John surgery earlier in his career and then was held to just 22 appearances in 2023 and the four in 2024.
