Crochet's Shoulder Inflammation: Red Sox Hoping for Quick Bounce-Back

0:00On April 29, Boston Red Sox just sidelined their top starter, Gary Crochet, with shoulder inflammation on the 15-day injured list. It's a blow early in the season, especially since pitcher Arn Troubles often spell trouble for the whole year. Crochet carried a heavy low-last season in his debut with the team, and this year his numbers have tanked with a 6.30 ERA and 5. Homer surrendered over six starts. Velocity dropped off and his arm slot looked off too. His jump to the worst-case scenario, figuring it could end his year like so many other hurlers. Shoulders tend to be less brutal than elbows, but the timing is hard for rotation already thin. Earlier this week, Crochet shared he's confident about a quick bounce back after the minimum stint. He called it fatigue from his last outing, smart to nip it now instead of chasing problems later. Red Sox Brass hopes this rest resets him to dominate again, keeping their playoff push alive without missing a beat-long term. Stay tuned with MLB News Today, AI-powered updates.
