Whitlock was removed from Sunday's game against the Orioles with right pectoral tightness, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Whitlock delivered a scoreless sixth inning and returned for the seventh, but he quickly exited with an athletic trainer due to the injury. Overall he was charged with an earned run on a hit and a walk with zero strikeouts. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the 25-year-old will have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery before potentially missing additional time.
