The Red Sox have placed 33-year old righty starting pitcher John Lackey on the 60-day disabled list as he is going to miss the whole 2012 season while recovering from Tommy John Surgery. Lackey pitched in 28 games (all starts) for the Red Sox last year and he was 12-12 with a 6.41 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. He has pitched in 61 games (all starts) in his first two years with the Red Sox and he is 26-23 with a 5.26 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. The Red Sox placed Lackey on the 60-day D.L. to make room on the 40-man roster for 31-year old lefty reliever Rich Hill. Hill pitched in 9 games (0 starts) for the Red Sox last year and he was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP. In his first two years with the Red Sox, Hill has pitched in 15 games (0 starts) in which he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Hill is also recovering from Tommy John Surgery and he’s going to likely miss the first 2-3 months of the 2012 season.
