Kutter Crawford SP | BOS
Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Bullpen pushed back
Crawford (knee) experienced more wrist pain Saturday and will have his bullpen session moved to next week, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Crawford is rehabbing from a knee injury but more recently had wrist pain emerge. Testing didn't reveal structural damage, and he was originally scheduled to throw at some point during the team's weekend series against the Yankees. His rehab now appears to be in a bit of a holding pattern, and he shouldn't be expected back from the IL in the near future.

Robert Stephenson RP | LAA
Angels' Robert Stephenson: MRI reveals no structural damage
Stephenson had two MRIs that showed no structural damage to his right biceps, and he's been diagnosed with a stretched nerve, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
While imaging provided some positive news for the veteran reliever, the stretched nerve diagnosis comes with an uncertain timeline for a return. Stephenson called the issue a "freak injury" and stated that he's unsure how long he'll be out of action. He added that the only treatment for the injury is rest, and at this point it's unclear if Stephenson will be ready to return from the IL when eligible June 15.

Oswaldo Cabrera 3B | NYY
Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not entirely ruled out for 2025
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that there is a "small possibility" that Cabrera (ankle) could return to action this season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
A few days after Cabrera was diagnosed with a fractured ankle in mid-May, Boone said it's "probably unlikely" that the utility man will play again this season. That sentiment hasn't changed, though Boone reiterated the same point with more positive wording Thursday. Cabrera underwent surgery on the ankle to repair both a fracture and ligament damage, and he's still wearing a protective boot while getting around on a scooter, so there remains a long road ahead before he's ready to play again.

The Red Sox recalled Winckowski (elbow) from Triple-A Worcester and transferred him to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Shuttled back to Worchester
Criswell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
Criswell has bounced back and forth between Boston and Worcester this season and made two appearances during his most recent stint in the majors. He threw three innings Friday against the Yankees, so the Red Sox will option him and get a fresh arm for their bullpen.
