Following a Wild Card sweep by the Yankees, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow identified offensive power as the primary area for improvement. While the pitching staff was effective, the lineup lacked home runs and failed to exploit Fenway Park's dimensions. Breslow also addressed injury management concerns regarding Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony, emphasizing long-term health over quick returns.
The Boston Red Sox have reinstated left-hander Garrett Crochet from the 60-day injured list to join their Wild Card roster against the New York Yankees. Crochet, who missed most of the 2026 season due to shoulder and lat injuries, will return in a relief capacity. To make room, right-hander Justin Slaten was placed on the 60-day IL. The roster excludes minor league outfielder Braiden Ward, despite earlier speculation about his inclusion as a pinch-runner. Manager Chad Tracy indicated Slaten would miss the rest of the season due to recurring elbow inflammation. Crochet’s return is a gamble given his long absence, but he offers elite strikeout potential if healthy. The Red Sox face a Yankees lineup featuring several left-handed batters, prompting Boston to include multiple left-handed relievers. The series begins September 29 at Yankee Stadium, with Payton Tolle starting Game 1.
Boston is weighing relief help down the stretch as Garrett Crochet progresses with bullpen work and could rejoin the postseason bullpen if no setbacks, while Tanner Houck advances in his Tommy John rehab with a Blue–Chip plan to throw ~45 pitches in Double-A before possibly moving to Triple-A. Justin Slaten’s elbow inflammation has shut him down again, leaving the Sox to rely on younger arms in the middle innings. Crochet’s previous 205 1/3-inning, 2.59 ERA season and Houck’s 2024-25 trajectory underscore the value of a healthy return for Boston’s relief corps heading into the playoffs.
Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet says he is on track to be ready for the first round of the playoffs after a five-month left shoulder injury, potentially returning as a reliever at Yankee Stadium even without undergoing minor- or major-league rehab games.
Ceddanne Rafaela was sidelined with a tight right quad but isn’t headed to the IL and will receive daily treatment as he recovers; Tanner Houck progressed with a Bridge League appearance and is aiming to start a rehab assignment next week after another simulated session; Garrett Crochet will throw his first bullpen today and is further behind Houck in his rehab; overall, Sox are cautious about relying on either pitcher down the stretch as they try to refresh their pitching staff.
Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, sidelined with a shoulder/lat injury, is unlikely to be stretched to six innings by the end of September and may return as a reliever rather than a full starter, as the team focuses on the postseason; fantasy managers should expect limited value and not stash him in most redraft leagues.
Tim Healey reports there are no guarantees Garrett Crochet will pitch again this season as he recovers from shoulder inflammation and a lat strain; with clearance not yet reached and a spring-training–like ramp-up required after recovery, his return for 2026 remains uncertain and fantasy players should consider benching or dropping him.
Garrett Crochet, sidelined since April with shoulder inflammation, says he’s targeting a playoff return for the Red Sox, who have surged to a wild-card position with a 14-game win streak. A six-week ramp-up after clearance means his return will hinge on health, and he could be kept in mind as a starter or a possible bullpen option. His contract includes an opt-out after 2030 tied to 120 days on the IL for throwing-arm injuries and a 2032 $15M club option unlocked by the same condition, thresholds that are unlikely to be met given the current timeline.
Garrett Crochet said his rehab from a lat strain effectively has to restart after shoulder inflammation, making a return before the All-Star break unlikely; the best-case scenario is a July 17 return for Boston’s doubleheader with the Rays, but the timeline remains unclear, leaving the Red Sox to navigate injuries and offense as they explore their deadline options.
Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet said his lat strain is much worse than expected, keeping him out since late April after an IL stint for shoulder fatigue; a May 26 simulated outing preceded another shutdown due to the lat issue.
Garrett Crochet has been diagnosed with a low-grade lat strain and will resume throwing only after symptoms subside, delaying his return as he has been out since April 26 with shoulder inflammation. With multiple pitchers on the injured list and a potential 60-day IL move for roster relief, a comeback within three weeks appears unlikely.
Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is dealing with tightness in his left lat, will undergo an MRI early this week, and will not participate in his scheduled throwing session, leaving his return date uncertain.
Volpe’s 20-day minor-league rehab at Double-A Somerset is nearly over and the Yankees must decide whether to reinstate him or option him; Caballero has been strong at short with solid defense, speed, and a 105 wRC+, potentially edging Volpe for the job; Garrett Crochet has left shoulder inflammation with no timetable for a return, Sonny Gray could rejoin Boston’s rotation after a live BP, and Jose Berrios is continuing rehab starts at Buffalo as he returns from a right elbow stress fracture and past biceps inflammation.
Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet was placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Team officials and Crochet expressed optimism that it’s a minor issue and that he should return as soon as eligible, with interim manager Chad Tracy and Crochet both signaling confidence.
Boston placed left-hander Garrett Crochet on the 15-day IL with left shoulder inflammation, recalling Nate Eaton from Triple-A to fill the roster; Crochet said he’s confident he’ll return soon after noting fatigue in his last start. Despite three quality starts, he endured a rough outing vs. Minnesota (11 runs in 1⅔ innings), leaving him with a 6.30 ERA through six starts.
