Sandoval felt some tightness in his biceps after his last rehab start in Triple-A, but the Red Sox don’t seem overly concerned about the injury. The current plan is to “hope a couple days of rest will do the trick,” so we’ll watch Sandoval’s next rehab start closely to see if there is any reason for concern.

That certainly doesn’t sound ideal. Sandoval gave up five runs over two innings during Tuesday’s minor league rehab start at Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox should have an update on his status and a potential timeline for his return following that evaluation.

Sandoval threw just 30 of 59 pitches for strikes and issued four walks in the abbreviated outing. The 29-year-old southpaw will spend the next couple weeks rounding into form after missing all of last year recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Sandoval struck out three, issued three walks and threw 63 pitches (35 strikes) in his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery back in 2024. The 29-year-old southpaw will require an extensive ramp-up process over the next few weeks, but should be an option for Boston’s rotation mix at some point in May.

Sandoval is working his way back from elbow surgery that cost him the entire 2025 season. His velocity has been good in spring workouts, but he has yet to get into a game. With Johan Oviedo struggling, there is a path for Sandoval to emerge as a long reliever for the Red Sox after a few rehab appearances.

Sandoval’s return from internal brace surgery has been anything but smooth, but he’s back working in minor league games now. He could be a candidate to join Boston’s rotation in the first half of May.

Cora said Sandoval’s fastball was 94-95 mph and, overall, the left-hander “threw the ball well.” Sandoval missed all of last season while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, but he is in contention for the final spot in the Red Sox rotation. Since Sandoval has no minor league options remaining, the Red Sox either need to keep him on their roster or trade him; it’s highly unlikely they would cut someone they signed to a two-year, $18.25 million contract before last season. If he keeps pitching this well in spring, there’s a good chance the 29-year-old will be in somebody’s rotation on Opening Day.

The Red Sox signed Sandoval to a two-year, $18.25 million contract before last season, knowing that he would spend most of last year rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. That financial commitment could give him an inside track to winning the fifth rotation spot, if he’s healthy and effective this spring. However, Sandoval also said that he’s open to pitching out of the bullpen, if that’s what the team wants. The 29-year-old could also attract some interest on the trade market if he looks good this spring.

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.
