Red Sox 'Trying Not to Get Their Hopes Up' Regarding Garrett Crochet Plan
The Red Sox know they can't bank on the left-hander just yet.
The Boston Red Sox are exercising caution regarding the potential return of left-hander Garrett Crochet. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 26 due to shoulder inflammation, an injury that has significantly affected his season. While Crochet is considered one of the best starters in Major League Baseball, the Red Sox are not rushing to make him a regular part of their bullpen.
They want to avoid getting their hopes up and setting themselves up for disappointment. Despite the Red Sox's overall strength in their roster, they understand that they don't need to rely on a single player to carry them through October. Crochet's absence has left a void, and his return would be a welcomed addition. However, his lack of recent pitching experience adds another layer of uncertainty.
The Red Sox are playing it safe, hoping that Crochet can make a full recovery and return to his unhittable form.
