Crawford Rehab Delayed, Sandlin Nears Blue Jays Return

Boston Red Sox pitcher Kutter Crawford, who has missed the entire season with a knee injury, has had his planned minor league rehab assignment delayed due to new wrist pain and will undergo further testing in Boston. Crawford was expected to begin his rehab this week after a successful four-inning live batting practice session. His return remains important for the Red Sox, whose rotation has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, though his role upon return is now uncertain. Meanwhile, Toronto Blue Jays reliever Nick Sandlin has started his rehab assignment after recovering from a lat strain and could rejoin the bullpen by mid-June. Both teams are awaiting these pitching reinforcements to address depth concerns.
