"Crochet took a step forward, throwing off a mound for the first time since the injury in a 20-pitch bullpen session prior to the game against the Phillies. The next step is set to be another slightly longer session over the weekend followed by facing live batters prior to a potential return to the rotation."
"While he noted that it's not entirely his decision, Crochet also said he isn't planning on taking a rehab start, and doesn't want to "waste innings on a rehab assignment when I feel like I can contribute.""
""It was weird," he said. "Bad mechanics led to compromising my shoulder. It's a mix of the two right now, trying to clean up my mechanics while also getting the shoulder back to feeling good.""
""We tried to do that early on, and I feel it puts you in a weird space mentally if you don't meet it. It makes you feel like you let the team down," Crochet said Wednesday of a timeline. "But just trying to get back to getting [healthy], so then I can help. That's ultimately kind of my viewpoint on it right now. It's not as quick as I can get back. It's as quick as I get back and be useful.""
Garrett Crochet is recovering from shoulder inflammation that placed him on the injured list in late April. He threw off a mound for the first time since the injury during a 20-pitch bullpen session before a game against the Phillies. The next phase is a longer throwing session over the weekend, followed by facing live batters before a potential return to the rotation. Crochet said the recovery has taken longer than expected and that he is not planning a rehab start because he does not want to waste innings when he can contribute. He described the injury as perplexing, involving bad mechanics that compromised his shoulder, requiring both mechanical cleanup and shoulder recovery. A specific return date remains uncertain.
