Crochet Suffers Lat Strain, Sogard Sidelined & Whitlock Nears Return
This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Red Sox injury news and transactions. June starts with heavy traffic in the training room, bringing a mix of tough setbacks and highly anticipated returns:
Current Injured List Status
| Player (Pos.) | Injury | Expected Return | Status & Progress |
| Garrett Whitlock (RHP) | Left knee inflammation | June 9 at earliest | Great News: Took a major step forward by throwing a side session at Fenway Park on June 2. Could head out for a minor league rehab stint very soon. |
| Nick Sogard (INF) | Right oblique strain | June 9 at earliest | New to the List: Placed on the 10-day IL on June 3 (retroactive to May 31). Believed to be a nagging issue that shouldn’t keep him out long-term. |
| Garrett Crochet (LHP) | Left shoulder / lat strain | July | Setback: An MRI revealed a “very low grade” lat strain. Timetable pushed to July; he will resume throwing as soon as he is completely asymptomatic. |
| Patrick Sandoval (LHP) | Left biceps discomfort | July | Moving forward: Threw live batting practice at Fenway Park on June 2. Expected to kick off a minor league rehab assignment with a 1-inning stint on June 5. |
| Trevor Story (SS) | Sports hernia | After the All-Star break | Returned to Fenway Park about a week and a half after his surgery. He will complete his rehab under the direct supervision of the team’s medical staff. |
| Roman Anthony (OF/DH) | Right wrist sprain | June | Shut down again: Experienced soreness following tee swings on May 28 and has been shut down from swinging for a few days to recover. |
| Romy Gonzalez (INF/OF) | Left shoulder surgery | July | Taking swings in the cage but is still actively working toward being able to execute a full, unrestricted follow-through. |
| Kutter Crawford (RHP) | Right flexor irritation | After the All-Star break | Stalled recovery: Not progressing as originally hoped. He is scheduled to get checked out thoroughly by the team’s medical personnel very soon. |
| Triston Casas (1B) | Left abdominal strain | After All-Star break at earliest | As of late May, he was cleared to potentially begin light swinging drills. The team continues to handle his recovery with high caution. |
| Johan Oviedo (RHP) | Right flexor strain | No earlier than July | Prepping to launch forearm strengthening exercises shortly, aiming to get back to a regular throwing program by mid-June. |
| Tanner Houck (RHP) | Torn UCL (Right elbow) | Aiming for late ’26 | Continuing his steady routine of flat-ground throws six days a week, targeting a return to official mound work in late June. |
