Garrett Crochet updates on recovery from shoulder injury with Red Sox

Garrett Crochet, a pitcher for the Red Sox, is recovering from shoulder fatigue that has kept him on the injured list for nearly two months. After a recent strength test revealed insufficient improvement, Crochet remains optimistic about returning to the rotation soon. He has been doing plyometric exercises while avoiding baseballs since a mild lat strain derailed his progress. Though he is not expected back until after the All-Star break, Crochet is focused on correcting his mechanics during what he acknowledges has been a disappointing stint. He seeks to avoid overcompensation as he prepares for a return to the mound.
