Summary
Kutter Crawford could be back on the mound soon, possibly with Triple-A Worcester this week after missing the entire 2025 season and facing setbacks early in 2026. His rehab stint in April didn’t pan out, but whispers suggest he’s trending in the right direction — though a big-league return before the playoffs seems unlikely with just 12 days left in the regular season. Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet and Tanner Houck are also showing progress, with Crochet eyeing a late-season bullpen return and Houck on a rehab assignment. Johan Oviedo is nearing his own rehab too. Even if Crawford doesn’t make it back this year, his health for spring training — rotation or bullpen — would strengthen the team, and he remains under control through 2027 and 2028, potentially becoming a valuable trade asset. Any pitcher returning after such a long layoff is a bright spot as the season winds down. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
