On April 29, the Boston Red Sox rolled into the 2026 season with one of baseball's deepest pitching staffs, but injuries have wiped. That outfast. Now Ace Gare Crochet lands on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation right before Wednesday's finale in Toronto. Crochet just had his best outing Saturday in Baltimore, tossing six shutout innings with seven strikeouts and a 17-to-1 route of the Orioles. Still, his season's been rough, a 6.30 ERA after a nightmare start where he gave up 11 runs in 1.2 innings against the twins. Experts been warning about this, pointing to his massive 205 innings last year, nearly matching his first four seasons combined. One national league exec called his velocity dropper Red Flag for fatigue and stats back it up. Only one top innings leader from last year stayed fully, healthy. His hits hard with Sunday Grey and Johan Oviato already sidelineed, plus setbacks for

Cutter Crawford and Patrick Sandeball. The Red Sox called up Triple A hitter Nate Eaton, batting 292 there to fill the roster spot. No starter named yet for Friday against the Astros, but prospect Jake Bennett got scratched from his minor league start, so he's the front runner. Boston Eyes a second straight series win today at 307 PM Eastern against the Blue Jays. That's the story for today. Boston Red Sox News today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with the story.
