Garrett Crochet's Spring Start Pushed Back to Minor-League Game

The Red Sox have pushed back Garrett Crochet's scheduled Sunday start, opting to have him pitch in a minor-league game Monday instead. The team plans to utilize a six-day schedule early in the season to manage his workload. Crochet, who has allowed six runs over 8.2 innings this spring, is focusing on mechanical adjustments to improve his pitch profiles while maintaining his focus on pounding the strike zone despite a slight dip in velocity.
