Kutter Crawford's 2025 season is abruptly cut short due to an off-field wrist injury, requiring season-ending surgery. This follows a challenging year for Crawford, who was already sidelined with a right-knee injury that kept him out of action since the start of the season. Manager Alex Cora expressed disappointment, noting the depth in the Red Sox's rotation had been a key talking point during spring training.

Despite his struggles, Crawford had a remarkable 2024 season, leading the team with 183 ⅔ innings pitched and tying for the most starts in the American League. However, his performance was marred by giving up a league-high 34 home runs. Meanwhile, third baseman Alex Bregman is also likely to miss the All-Star break due to a quadriceps injury.
