Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet suffers low‑grade lat strain

Garrett Crochet, the Boston Red Sox’s left‑handed starting pitcher, was diagnosed with a low‑grade latissimus dorsi strain after feeling a pull while throwing in a recent game. An MRI confirmed the injury, and interim manager Chad Tracy said Crochet can resume throwing once he is asymptomatic. "What I’m told right now is he can resume throwing as soon as he’s asymptomatic," Tracy said.

The strain keeps Crochet on the 15‑day injured list, with a possible shift to the 60‑day IL to free a roster spot. He has not pitched since April 26 and holds a 6.30 ERA over six starts. His contract includes a clause that could void his 2031 player option if he misses 120 consecutive days because of a significant arm injury.
