Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet’s season is in jeopardy due to a lingering shoulder injury. Crochet was placed on the injured list at the end of April and has yet to return to the mound.
Crochet’s Injury Timeline
Crochet initially thought he would only miss one start, but the injury has proven to be more complex. He has recently ramped down his activity and is no longer throwing plyo balls as part of his recovery efforts.
Crochet was the runner-up for the American League Cy Young Award last season, posting a 2.59 ERA in 32 starts. This year, he has struggled with a 7.36 ERA across four spring training starts and a 7.88 ERA in his next five starts.
The Red Sox are currently on a 14-game winning streak, but Crochet’s absence has been noticeable. He has been absent from the dugout during the team’s recent success, citing his rehab work and a desire not to disrupt the team’s momentum.
