Pomeranz on DL, but could still start April 9
Drew Pomeranz strikes out Jose Bautista looking on a breaking ball to end the bottom of the 2nd inning with runners on the cornersThe Red Sox are hopeful Drew Pomeranz will make his first start as planned on April 9, but the lefty will begin the season on the disabled list with a forearm flexor strain.
Boston placed Pomeranz on the 10-day DL on Thursday, a day after manager John Farrell admitted he couldn't put his "rubber stamp" of approval yet on the lefty.
Pomeranz has not suffered a new injury, but he is still being stretched out after a triceps injury delayed his progress this spring. Pomeranz last pitched Wednesday, allowing three runs in four innings to the Twins.
