The Boston Red Sox are facing significant setbacks as two more pitchers have joined the injured roster. Kutter Crawford, who has been recovering from a wrist injury, experienced pain during his rehab and will undergo an MRI in Boston. Adding to their woes, rookie Hunter Dobbins has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow strain, following a decline in his recent pitching performance against the San Francisco Giants, where he allowed five runs and reported a drop in velocity.

To fill the gaps, the Red Sox have called up Richard Fitts from Triple-A Worcester to support their pitching staff. Dobbins had been having a promising season, boasting a 4-1 record with a 4.10 ERA across 12 games. In contrast, Fitts has struggled in his brief MLB appearances this season. The Red Sox are also rumored to be pursuing a trade for a top pitcher to bolster their rotation.
