  "account": "Garrett Crochet, Boston Red Sox starting pitcher, has not played since April 25. He has been willing to consider moving to the bullpen if that's the quickest route back into the team's lineup. Crochet has endured multiple setbacks following an initial left shoulder inflammation injury in late April. He has contemplated pitching in the bullpen before, admitting it's something he's done before. During an interview on Audacy's Baseball Isn't Boring podcast, Crochet emphasized his eagerness to contribute in any capacity possible to help the team achieve their spring training goals. He is currently undergoing a throwing program to regain his form, starting with short-range throws. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy indicated that Crochet is still in the early stages of this process. The organization is cautious but beginning to prepare for the possibility of Crochet's return to the starting rotation.",
