• Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Gets successful wrist surgery

  07/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox announced that Crawford (knee) underwent successful surgery Thursday to reconstruct the stabilizing sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris in his right wrist, MLB.com reports. Initially placed on the injured list before Opening Day due to right patellar tendiopathy, Crawford had advanced to pitching in simulated games in May before plans to send him out on a minor-league rehab assignment were tabled in early June due to right wrist pain. According to Sean McAdam of MassLive.com, manager Alex Cora said June 25 that Crawford sustained the wrist injury in an off-field "accident," but the skipper didn't go into any further details beyond noting that it wasn't due to any irresponsibility on the right-hander's part. Cora said that Crawford's season is "most likely" over as a result of his surgery, so the 29-year-old will turn his focus to returning to full health heading into spring training. Crawford entered arbitration for the first time last winter and is under club control through the 2028 season.

  06/25/2025 • By RotoWire

  Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Crawford will undergo right wrist surgery that will "most likely" keep the pitcher out for the remainder of the season, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. Crawford began the season on the injured list with a right knee injury that first cropped up over the winter. However, it's Crawford's wrist that's been the bigger issue over the last few weeks, and the decision has been made to have surgery. The specific nature of the operation isn't clear, but the team should have more details on Crawford's status after surgery.

  06/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Crawford has been shut down from throwing after experiencing continued issues in his right wrist coming out of his bullpen session Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. Crawford had been scheduled to throw his second bullpen session in less than a week Friday, but it ended up being cancelled due to ongoing soreness in his wrist. He will head back to Boston to undergo further testing before the Red Sox determine his next steps. In the meantime, Crawford will be shut down from throwing, and he doesn't look as though he'll be ready to return from the 60-day injured list until some point after the All-Star break.
