Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet has continued to advance through his rehabilitation for left shoulder inflammation, an injury that has kept him off the mound since late April. After progressing to throwing at 90 feet with intensity, Crochet recently completed a bullpen session at Camden Yards, throwing 16 pitches. While this mound work does not guarantee a return this season, interim manager Chad Tracy described the session as a “really good sign.” Crochet has also dealt with a subsequent lat strain during his recovery. Due to his timeline, he is reportedly targeting a return for the first round of the playoffs. Because of the nature of his recovery, it is unlikely he will make a formal rehab start, potentially allowing him to join the rotation directly for the postseason. Crochet has previously indicated that his return might be limited to a bullpen role, potentially pitching a maximum of two innings per appearance. As the regular season enters its final weeks, Crochet remains on track to meet his postseason return target.
