Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said Patrick Sandoval (elbow) will not return this season.

Sandoval expressed optimism back in spring training that he would make it back from last year’s internal brace procedure before the conclusion of the 2025 season, but he appears to have run out of time after suffering some setbacks during his rehabilitation process. The 28-year-old southpaw inked a two-year deal with the Red Sox during the offseason and should factor into their rotation plans next spring.
