• Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Still not throwing baseballs

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Thursday that Crochet (shoulder/lat) has yet to resume a formal throwing program and is limited to playing catch with weighted plyometric balls, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Initially placed on the injured list April 29 due to shoulder inflammation, Crochet advanced to facing live hitters in late May, but after experiencing a setback and being diagnosed with a low-grade lat strain, he's essentially back to square one in the rehab process. While he hasn't been shut down from activity entirely, Crochet will need to eventually restart a throwing progression before the Red Sox have a better sense of when he might be ready to return. Even if he gets the green light to start playing catch with a baseball during the All-Star break, Crochet would likely need at least a month to check all the boxes in his throwing program and complete a rehab assignment, so a return in late August probably represents a best-case scenario for the 27-year-old.

• Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Not cleared to throw yet

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Crochet (shoulder/lat) has not yet been cleared to resume a throwing program following a scheduled re-evaluation Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said that Crochet's left shoulder and lat are "improving," but not enough that he's ready to throw. Crochet landed on the injured list in late April with left shoulder inflammation and then encountered a setback in early June when he sustained a low-grade left lat strain. The southpaw has been throwing a plyometric ball, but a timetable for his return won't become clearer until he ramps up a throwing program.

  Crochet (shoulder) was diagnosed with a low-grade lat strain Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The Red Sox pulled Crochet off his throwing program Sunday after he reported tightness in his lat, and MRI results have now confirmed that he's dealing with a minor strain. Interim manager Chad Tracy said the 26-year-old southpaw will be cleared to resume his throwing program as soon as he's asymptomatic, at which point an updated return timeline may begin to emerge.

• Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Suffers setback in recovery process

  Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that Crochet (shoulder) began experiencing lat tightness over the past few days and will have his throwing program shut down for the time being, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Though he initially expressed optimism that he would return in the minimum amount of time after landing on the 15-day injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation, Crochet now remains without a clear timeline to rejoin the Boston rotation more than a month later. The southpaw had been scheduled to face live hitters in a simulated game Tuesday, but that plan has now been scrapped. Tracy noted that Crochet will visit doctors early this coming week and will likely undergo an MRI, which could offer some clarity on the 26-year-old's next steps.

  Crochet (shoulder) will face hitters Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. After checking out fine following a side session Saturday, Crochet is slated to throw a live batting practice session for the first time since landing on the injured list April 29. If Tuesday's workout goes well, the Red Sox could send Crochet out on a rehab assignment later in the week.
