Garrett Crochet was placed on the 15-day injured list (IL) for the Red Sox in late April 2026 with left shoulder inflammation. The team indicated the stint could be short, with a target return around mid-May, though the exact timing depended on how his shoulder responded to treatment and throwing progression [source 1: Apr 29, 2026 IL announcement and detail on return timing; source 3: Audacy podcast recap referencing IL and shoulder inflammation].[1][3]

Earlier in 2026 coverage, there was discussion about Crochet’s workload and durability concerns stemming from his heavy 2025 season and a history of prior injuries, including Tommy John surgery in 2022 and a 2023 season impacted by a cortisone shot. Some reports questioned whether a reduced workload or rest would be advised as he returned to action, though the Red Sox had not publicly committed to a long-term plan beyond this IL stint.[1]

In 2024–2025 reporting, Crochet was frequently mentioned as a key innings eater for Chicago White Sox prior to the 2026 season, with trade and extension chatter common around his name. Those discussions focused on his postseason usage and long-term contract considerations rather than immediate health status.[2]

Additional media and fan outlets tracked Crochet through 2025–2026 as part of ongoing Red Sox coverage, including injury-focused podcasts and MLB rumor roundups. Expect continued updates on his status, potential bullpen role, and return timeline as the team provides medical updates and rehab progress reports.[4][8][9]
