Scouting Report: Garrett Whitlock
Boston Red Sox | RP
Overall
Summary
Garrett Crochet, Boston Red Sox ace, was placed on the injured list on April 29 with left shoulder inflammation. The injury was attributed to bad mechanics that compromised his shoulder. As of late May, Crochet has completed a 20-pitch bullpen session (his first since the injury) and is progressing through rehabilitation. His next steps include a longer two-inning bullpen session and facing live batters before a potential return. Crochet is hoping to skip a minor league rehab assignment and return directly to the majors. Manager Chad Tracy indicated his return is "not imminent." Crochet has not pitched in a game since April 25.
Strengths
- Completed first bullpen session since injury (20 pitches)
