Pomeranz (elbow) is expected to make his spring debut March 13, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Boston plans to have Pomeranz throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, then have him pitch in a game five days later. If healthy, Pomeranz is expected to start the 2017 season at the back end of the rotation, at which point he'll look to improve on 2016's subpar showing with the Red Sox. After being acquired from the Padres, he proceeded to post a 4.59 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 14 games (68.2 innings).
