Whitlock is feeling better after landing on the injured list earlier in the week with a right pectoral strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Alex Cora previously indicated that he expected Whitlock to return by the end of the regular season, and Friday's update suggests that's still in play. The right-hander has yet to resume throwing, but so long as he's able to do so in the next few days, he should remain on track to be activated during the closing four-game stretch against the Orioles and Nationals.
