Red Sox Seek Pitching Solutions Amid Injuries, Struggles

The Boston Red Sox are struggling at 8-9 in the AL East, with recent offensive woes highlighted by a disappointing series against the Chicago White Sox, where they managed only six runs. While the pitching staff has kept the team competitive, injuries to key starters such as Brayan Bello and Kutter Crawford have raised concerns about depth. Garrett Crochet has emerged as a standout pitcher, recently throwing 7.1 innings of no-hit ball in a critical game, showcasing his importance to the rotation. In response to losing catcher Connor Wong to injury, the Red Sox signed veteran Yasmani Grandal, while also evaluating other catching options. The front office may look to acquire additional pitching help through trades, particularly as injuries continue to affect the roster. With the return of injured players anticipated, questions remain about their effectiveness upon rejoining the team.
