Crawford started the year on the IL due to a knee injury, and then was declared out for the season and no one knew why.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>However, now he\u2019s revealed it. Turns out, it wasn\u2019t even related to baseball. Crawford injured himself doing chores around his house.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Alex Cora give his praise about one of rising Red Sox star&#8217;s underrated abilities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust doing some pretty standard maintenance around the house,\u201d Crawford said. \u201cI was outside moving some stuff, I went to move something and it got hung up and turned my wrist the other way. I felt a subtle pop,\u201d (via Masslive)<\/p>\n<p>The Sox could definitely use Crawford right about now to support the back end of the starting rotation. Last season, Crawford had a 4.36 ERA, along with 175 strikeouts. While it doesn\u2019t seem like awesome stats, it would definitely be an upgrade from Walker Buehler, who is currently rocking a 5.43 ERA with 78 strikeouts, and only a few starts remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0Red Sox manager Alex Cora gives foreboding answers regarding two rising stars return to the big leagues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Crawford has had a season-ending surgery on his wrist, all because he grabbed something heavy and moved it at home. However, he feels good, and thinks he\u2019s healing well, both his wrist and knee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe knee is in a really good spot,\u201d Crawford said. \u201cMy knee feels better than it has in probably three or four years, so I\u2019m very optimistic about that and hopefully will have no issues next year with that. Things are going good, all things considered. The rest of the body\u2019s feeling good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully he\u2019ll be ready for next season, so the Sox have a surefire end of the rotation to close out series and keep the Sox in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE\u00a0BOSTON RED SOX\u00a0NEWS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox $120 million superstar&#8217;s comments point to a long-term commitment to Boston<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox $120 million superstar slugger predicted to opt out of contract; will still re-sign with team long-term<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Sox predicted to make blockbuster trade this offseason for All-Star pitcher to create 1-2 punch with Garrett Crochet<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot of Sox fans have been wondering where he was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":78910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[47,2325,756,493],"class_list":["post-78907","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-boston-red-sox","tag-knee-injury","tag-kutter-crawford","tag-walker-buehler"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
