There's good news regarding a Red Sox pitcher prior to the All-Star break. Patrick Sandoval, out of action since June 2024, will make his 2026 debut today, July 9.
Sandoval, 29, makes his return to the mound, facing the White Sox at Rate Field in Chicago. This comes after undergoing Tommy John surgery not long after signing a two-year deal with Boston in December 2024.
"This whole process has been mentally draining and challenging, obviously," Sandoval told MLB.com. "The physical stuff, the setbacks and the pain, or whatever, but it took a toll mentally, for sure, and it just taught me a lot."
Prior to signing with the Red Sox, Sandoval accumulated a 19-45 record and a 4.01 ERA with the Angels, striking out 529 batters in 107 starts. Requiring surgery in 2024, the Red Sox would sign Sandoval to a two-year, $18.25 million contract in the offseason.
