White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Takes loss in return to mound
Rotowire
Crochet (0-2) allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one across two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Friday against the Red Sox.
Crochet made his first appearance since being activated from the injured list Wednesday after battling a shoulder injury. He was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning, but he allowed an inherited runner to score after allowing a single and a walk. He gave up a run of his own two batters later, so the performance left plenty to be desired. However, with the White Sox out of playoff contention, their primary focus is getting the young reliever some work prior to the close of the regular season.

White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Likely out until September
Rotowire
Crochet said July 29 that he was diagnosed with a left shoulder strain after being pulled off his rehab assignment and expects to remain shut down for 2-to-3 weeks before he resumes a throwing program at the White Sox's spring training facility in Arizona, MLB.com reports. "I just want to take this comeback slow and don't want to rush anything. I still plan to pitch at some point at the end of the year," Crochet said.
Crochet was initially forced to the 15-day injured list June 20 with what the White Sox labeled as shoulder inflammation, and he looked as though he would have a chance to return in early August after he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment following the All-Star break. However, he never ended up making any appearances in the minors after feeling soreness in his shoulder July 21 before he was diagnosed with a more significant injury. Since he's unlikely to resume throwing until at least the middle of August and is expected to be built up slowly, Crochet probably won't be an option in the White Sox bullpen until early September, in a best-case scenario. The timing of Crochet's injury is particularly inconvenient, as he may have been in the mix for saves for the White Sox in the wake of closer Liam Hendricks undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Rotowire
Crochet (shoulder) will pitch multiple innings during his next rehab appearance with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Crochet pitched just two-thirds of an inning in his first rehab appearance and has thrown two full innings once in the majors this season.
