Garrett Crochet Completes Live BP Session and Nears Red Sox Return

Garrett Crochet threw a 16-pitch live batting practice session on Tuesday, touching 96 mph in his latest step toward recovery from a lat strain that sidelined him in April. Facing Ceddanne Rafaela, Crochet stated he feels ready to get outs, though roster logistics remain up to the front office and manager Chad Tracy. His recovery on Wednesday will determine if he pitches this weekend or saves his return for the upcoming postseason push with the Red Sox.
