Red Sox pitcher Kutter Crawford’s off-field ‘accident’ requires season-ending wrist surgery

June 25, 2025

Kutter Crawford had an off-field “accident” that requires season-ending surgery on his right throwing wrist. Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced the injury on Wednesday and said the 29-year-old wasn’t doing anything “irresponsible.” Crawford has been sidelined all season by a right-knee injury that he initially suffered in his third game of 2024, a season in which he went 9-6 with a 4.36 ERA in 33 starts, tied for the most starts in the American League. Crawford was one of baseball’s most durable pitchers in 2024 despite pitching most of the season with patellar-tendon discomfort.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora ejected after another shaky start by Walker Buehler in loss to Angels

June 24, 2025

Alex Cora is 0 for 2 in arguing obstruction calls with umpire Alan Porter after the Boston Red Sox manager was ejected in the fifth inning of a 9-5 loss to the Los Angeles Angels, the second straight game in which Cora was tossed. Cora wasn’t around to see the Angels score four in the eighth to snap a 5-all tie, but he saw enough of Walker Buehler’s shaky start to acknowledge the veteran right-hander might be losing his grip on a rotation spot. Handed a 3-0 lead before he took the mound, Buehler walked four and hit two batters during a five-run first inning in which he threw 39 pitches. He finished with a career-high seven walks in four innings and has a 6.29 ERA in 13 starts.

Dodgers say Shohei Ohtani will pitch on Monday night against Padres

June 15, 2025

Shohei Ohtani is going to be the starting pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night against San Diego, 21 months after the two-way star had elbow surgery. The Dodgers made the announcement after their 5-4 win over San Francisco. Ohtani likely will be used as an opener as the NL West leaders kick off a four-game set against the visiting Padres. Ohtani has not pitched in a game since Aug. 23, 2023, when he got hurt during a start for the Los Angeles Angels against Cincinnati. He had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 1, 2018, and is recovering from right elbow surgery on Sept. 19, 2023.
