The Boston Red Sox are bouncing back from a rough stretch, snapping a seven-game losing streak with an 11-1 demolition of the Diamondbacks — keeping them firmly in the driver’s seat for the second AL wild card spot. But behind the scenes, pitcher Patrick Sandoval’s struggles have been real: he’s battled a persistent blister on his left foot all season, forcing him to push through pain that’s disrupted his mechanics and contributed to a recent rough outing. Before that slump, Sandoval was pitching at a 3.30 ERA — now, with playoffs looming, the Red Sox desperately need their rotation fully healthy if they’re going to make a deep postseason run.
