The Boston Red Sox have announced that ace pitcher Garrett Crochet will be sidelined for 15 days due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder. This injury adds to a difficult start for the 26-year-old, who has recorded a 6.30 ERA over his first six starts this season. His performance includes a particularly challenging outing against the Minnesota Twins, where he allowed a career-worst 10 earned runs. Despite this, Crochet's most recent appearance was a positive one, as he pitched six shutout innings against the Baltimore Orioles without reporting any health issues post-game. The Red Sox, currently sitting at 12-18 and last in the American League East, have not yet announced a replacement for Crochet in the rotation for his next scheduled start on Friday. This injury comes shortly after the team made significant changes, including firing manager Alex Cora and several coaches.
