Lands on 15-Day IL with Shoulder Inflammation Amid Struggles

The Boston Red Sox placed ace Garrett Crochet on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. This move follows a difficult start to the 2026 season for the left-hander, who has posted a 6.30 ERA over six starts. Crochet expressed confidence in a minimum-length IL stay, aiming to return within 15 days. The injury adds to the Red Sox's pitching concerns under interim manager Chad Tracy; Nate Eaton was recalled from the minors in a corresponding roster move Wednesday.
