Red Sox sent LHP Patrick Sandoval (biceps, elbow) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Worcester.
He’s getting closer. Sandoval figures to spend at least a few starts here if the Red Sox plan to stretch him out. He progressed quickly from a live batting practice session this past Saturday, so Boston must have liked what they saw. If Sandoval continues to show his rehab is going well, he could eventually bump in to Boston’s big-league rotation, but there’s probably no need to stash him in most fantasy leagues at the moment.
