A Boston Red Sox rookie who had some strong words about the New York Yankees earlier this season has suffered a huge injury.
Perhaps more importantly, Crochet’s decision sends a message to the fans and to the front office. It’s hard for a pitcher to be the face of a team, but with Rafael Devers gone and Roman Anthony still in his professional infancy, Crochet is the guy right now in Boston. His decision declares that he’s putting winning this year first.

Following an energizing walk-off win on Friday night, the Red Sox woke up on Saturday to bad news on rookie starter Hunter Dobbins. The right-hander will undergo season-ending surgery after he tore his right ACL just five outs into his start on Friday.
Covering first base in the second inning of Boston’s 5-4 walk-off win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night, the 25-year-old Dobbins stepped awkwardly and limped after recording an out by making a catch on a throw from first baseman Abraham Toro.
Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet recorded his first career complete game Saturday. He allowed just three hits while striking out nine in a 1-0 win over the Rays here at Fenway Park. But the shutout wouldn’t have happened if not for first baseman Abraham Toro throwing out a runner at the plate in the sixth inning.
If the Red Sox look to move anyone, one name that has continued to pop up is Jarren Duran, a young outfielder who has proven to be an All-Star-caliber player.
