The Red Sox haven't provided an update on Wu-Yelland's status, but the right-hander may have been pulled off the rehab assignment in early July after suffering a setback in his recovery from his April 2022 Tommy John surgery. The 24-year-old southpaw turned in a 4.03 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 77:36 K:BB over 67 innings in 20 starts with Single-A Salem in his last healthy season in 2021.

Based on the timing of his procedure, Wu-Yelland will miss the remainder of the 2022 campaign and at least the first half of the 2023 season. A fourth-round pick of the Red Sox in 2020, Wu-Yelland split time between Single-A Salem and High-A Greenville in 2021, turning in a 3.91 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while holding opposing hitters to a .203 average over his 23 starts.
