Garrett Crochet Suffers Setback, Likely to Undergo MRI for Lat Tightness
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet (shoulder, lat) has suffered a setback in his rehab from a shoulder injury and will likely undergo an MRI to address tightness in his lat, per Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. Crochet was initially scheduled to face live hitters on Tuesday, but that will no longer be the case. After finishing second in the American League Cy Young Award voting in 2025, Crochet has had a disastrous start to 2026. Across 30 innings (six starts) before landing on the 15-day injured list with shoulder fatigue in late April, Crochet recorded a 3-3 record with a 6.30 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts. While he appeared to be nearing a return to the big leagues, this latest setback could mean Crochet is facing another extended absence. Fantasy managers in leagues without IL spots may have a tough decision to make if Crochet's MRI reveals a significant issue in his lat.
