Boston Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford hasn\u2019t pitched this season as he rehabbed a knee injury he entered the season with. As he was nearing a return from injury, he hurt his wrist, causing him to be <a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/06\/red-sox-issue-brutal-update-on-injured-starting-pitcher\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shut down<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Alex Cora said that Crawford <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NESN\/status\/1937937077418508432\" rel=\"nofollow\">will have surgery<\/a> on his injured wrist and is \u201cmost likely\u201d out for the season.<\/p>\n<p>Cora said the wrist injury happened off the field and was an \u201caccident\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Crawford pitched a career high 183 2\/3 innings in 2024.

The righty registered a 4.36 ERA and struck out 23.1% of the hitters he faced. <\/p>\n<p>The home run ball was an issue for Crawford. He surrendered 34 home runs in 2024, which led baseball. His pitching style lends itself to the long ball, but he\u2019ll look to limit that damage going forward. <\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/06\/report-red-sox-getting-boost-to-starting-rotation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Richard Fitts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/06\/how-red-sox-pitcher-tanner-houck-performed-in-rehab-start\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tanner Houck<\/a>\u2018s return from injuries will help fill innings for Boston, but Crawford would have provided another fresh arm in the event of <a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2025\/06\/walker-buehler-100-percent-healthy-according-to-alex-cora\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">other injuries<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Crawford is still under team control through the 2028 season.
