Crochet (shoulder) began experiencing lat tightness over the past few days and will have his throwing program shut down for the time being, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Though he initially expressed optimism that he would return in the minimum amount of time after landing on the 15-day injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation, Crochet still remains without a clear timeline to rejoin the Boston rotation. The southpaw had been scheduled to face live hitters in a simulated game Tuesday, but that plan has now been scrapped. Interim manager Chad Tracy noted that Crochet will visit doctors early this coming week and will likely undergo an MRI, which could offer some clarity on the 26-year-old's next steps.
