Boston Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet hasn’t looked like his usual dominant self this season. Across six starts, the former AL Cy Young runner-up posted a 6.30 ERA and showed uncharacteristic control issues.
It turns out there was a physical reason for the struggles. The Red Sox placed Crochet on the injured list Wednesday due to left shoulder inflammation.
The move is retroactive to April 26, which could allow Crochet to return sooner than expected depending on the injury’s severity.
