The Red Sox are facing criticism for their handling of player injuries as the season advances. Garrett Crochet, sidelined with shoulder inflammation, is expected to miss another 10 days after initially being projected for a quick return from the 15-day IL. Roman Anthony's injury situation has also been confusing, with the team previously downplaying the severity of his sprained ligament. His recovery has been further complicated by setbacks. Interim manager Chad Tracy expresses the difficulties of relaying updates, which have not aligned with players' experiences. The Red Sox need to enhance their communication regarding injury statuses.
