Club Recalls Right-Handed Pitcher Kutter Crawford from Triple-A Worcester
BOSTON, MA – The Boston Red Sox today placed right-handed pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-Day Injured List with low back inflammation, retroactive to June 9. To fill Eovaldi’s spot on the active roster, the club recalled right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford from Triple-A Worcester.
Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.
Eovaldi, 32, is 4-2 with a 3.16 ERA (24 ER/68.1 IP), 72 strikeouts, 10 walks, and a .244 opponent batting average in 12 starts for the Red Sox this season. In his last two starts, both Red Sox wins, the right-hander has not allowed a run (11.0 IP, 10 H, 1 BB, 13 SO). On May 28, he tossed his first career complete game in Boston’s 5-3 win against the Baltimore Orioles.
