Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Garrett Crochet, 26-year-old Red Sox ace, was placed on the injured list in late April with shoulder inflammation. After a 20-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday, he acknowledged the recovery process has taken longer than expected. Crochet attributed the injury to bad mechanics that compromised his shoulder. He is working through a step-by-step rehab process including another bullpen session over the weekend and facing live batters before a potential rotation return. Crochet stated he does not plan on taking a rehab start, wanting to avoid wasting innings. No specific return date has been set, with Crochet prioritizing getting healthy enough to be useful rather than rushing back.
