Despite Red Sox key players like Garrett Whitlock and Brayan Bello returning this past week, the Red Sox have another key player go down with an injury. Luckily there's more positive injury news to report about other players and outside of the injuries, other players are returning to the team from the WBC.

Jake Ignaszewski breaks down the injury that was sustained by Joely Rodriguez and shares injury updates regarding James Paxton and Justin Turner. Iggy then looks into Nick Pivetta's outing on Sunday and why there may be some areas of concern. Brayan Bello made his spring debut on Sunday and Iggy explains why his impressive outing is a great sign for the team's rotation.

With all these injuries popping up, the Red Sox will need depth pieces to fill in and Iggy looks at two players that have been impressive so far in spring that could play key roles during the season. Lastly, Jake explains why it's so vital that players are returning to the team this week and the importance of starting the season off on the right foot.
