The Boston Red Sox announced Wednesday that starting pitcher Garrett Crochet has been placed on the injured list with left shoulder inflammation. This move comes as the team navigates a challenging period. Crochet's performance this season has been inconsistent, with a 6.30 earned run average over six starts.
Despite a difficult start on April 13 where he allowed 11 runs, Crochet made two more starts before his current placement on the injured list. The severity of his inflammation is currently unknown. He had been slated to pitch on Friday against the Houston Astros.
In related news, pitcher Jake Bennett, the Red Sox's No. 6 prospect, has been scratched from his scheduled start at Triple-A Worcester and is a potential addition to the major league pitching staff. Bennett has impressed with a 0.86 ERA this season. Meanwhile, Sonny Gray is progressing in his recovery from a right hamstring strain, having thrown a bullpen session earlier this week.
