But Tracy said he had \u201cno idea\u201d and \u201cwouldn\u2019t even venture to answer\u201d how long this might halt progress made by Crochet \u2014 who was not close to a return anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>\u201cFeels like a very minor setback. It sucks to even call it a setback. It doesn\u2019t feel like it even deserves that title,\u201d Crochet said. \u201cJust trying to make sure that you know when I do return to play, that I\u2019m there for the rest of the year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Tracy said: \u201cThat\u2019s going to push it back some, but how long, no clue. We\u2019ll see how he feels and what the docs say and how quickly it resolves.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Crochet has been out since late April because of what initially was inflammation\/fatigue in his left shoulder \u2014 a result, he said, of diminished strength that had bothered him since spring training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last Tuesday, he threw live batting practice, his first time facing batters since being sidelined. He had been slated to do so again this coming Tuesday. But on Thursday, he \u201cfelt a little stretch\u201d in the lat on an otherwise random throw, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He shut down for a couple of days, just to be safe. Upon throwing again this weekend, he continued to feel it, so the Sox decided Crochet needed to get it looked at.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s really lingering,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cWe were hoping it was eh, soreness. But he\u2019s throwing and it\u2019s still there. It is improving, but for right now, we\u2019re backing off that until he sees docs and gets back home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Crochet noted that he was \u201cvery, very early in the buildup process\u201d and he was \u201ca little far off from a rehab start.\u201d That suggests that even in the previous best-case scenario, he likely was weeks away from returning to a major league mound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1641\">The best local book events this week<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat\u2019s a pretty vulnerable time, though, for the arm in general during the buildup process,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, if it was going to happen at some point, I would expect it to happen right around now, which sucks. But just strengthen the area and move on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the Red Sox, who also are without Roman Anthony indefinitely because of a sprained right hand\/wrist that has not healed as they hoped, this is more of the same. They have pitched well without Crochet, who has been out so long that he last appeared in a game when Alex Cora still was manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ve been getting used to, at least right now, having to deal with playing baseball games and life without him,\u201d Crochet said. \u201cSo from my perspective, it doesn\u2019t change the current situation. We still gotta go out and win baseball games, and we still have guys in our rotation who have done an amazing job and are very capable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019ve been on the IL before in my career. It doesn\u2019t feel good. Feels like you\u2019re letting your teammates down. Right now, I\u2019m just trying to get back and be the version of myself that I know I can be, not the version of myself that I was even this year before my injury.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Rafaela scratched<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Ceddanne Rafaela was removed from the Sox\u2019 original lineup for the finale against Cleveland because of a lower back issue that stems from a recent dive in center field at Fenway Park, Tracy said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s been irking at him for a couple days,\u201d he said. \u201cA little bit more balky today. So we got to, with the off day [Monday], keep him out of there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contreras out too<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Willson Contreras was absent from the lineup from the start for what Tracy described as a variety of arm reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Some swings lately have hyperextended his arm, leading to a \u201ctingling sensation,\u201d Tracy said. He also has been hit by a pitch on the elbow a couple of times recently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe\u2019ve ridden him hard,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cBroadly, he just needs a break, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1639\">China\u2019s biotech ascent forces US industry to choose: Is the country an ally or an existential threat?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crochet will not complete his scheduled session against batters Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
