Red Sox notebook: Drew Pomeranz expected ‘to start throwing’ after forearm scare

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Drew Pomeranz says he’s feeling “no pain” anymore in the mildly strained flexor tendon of his left forearm. The news allowed the Red Sox to breathe a sigh of relief that last Friday’s injury represents only a hiccup.

Being ready to start the season is possible, even if an exact plan for his return has not been worked out yet. Today was the starter’s day to throw, but that will be pushed back.

“He should start throwing in the upcoming days,” manager Alex Cora said after a 9-1 Grapefruit League victory against the Tampa Bay Rays.
