Garrett Crochet, the Boston Red Sox ace, remains unlikely to return this season after an injury that has kept him out since April 25. The Red Sox have managed to perform well without him, thanks in part to the strong performance of Sonny Gray, who has a 15-3 record and a 2.65 ERA. Despite Gray's contributions, the Red Sox are still hoping for Crochet's return as they approach October. Current reports indicate that a definitive timeline for his comeback remains uncertain, raising questions about the team's postseason prospects without him.
