Latest Garrett Crochet report shows Red Sox must make this obvious move originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Among the many problems the Boston Red Sox have faced throughout the 2026 MLB season, Garrett Crochet's injury should be viewed at the top of that list.
While the Red Sox aren't going to do much this year, and it's evident that things are going south for this organization at the moment, Crochet being hurt for an extended period would be a massive issue.
According to the latest report, Red Sox skipper Chad Tracy, the interim head coach after letting go of Alex Cora, said that Crochet is improving, but still isn't ready to take that next step. While I understand that the Red Sox want to get him back on the field, this is the perfect opportunity to shut him down, in my opinion.
“Garrett Crochet won’t begin throwing yet, Chad Tracy said. He had a scheduled reevaluation of his shoulder today, and it showed that he is “improving,” per Tracy. But not enough to take that next step,” Tim Healey wrote.
Had Crochet not gotten paid, currently playing on a six-year, $170 million deal through 2031, I could understand his reasoning for wanting to be on the mound.
However, considering he literally just turned 27 years old two days ago, I don't see the need to push this. The last thing the Red Sox want from this nightmare season is to have the top starter in their rotation injured for the long term.
