The Boston Red Sox's first significant domino fell on Tuesday night from an injury perspective. With Rutschman now in the fold, Boston is still waiting for three more injured key pieces, above all else: Roman Anthony, Garrett Crochet and shortstop Trevor Story. Trevor StoryMay 12, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (10) hits a single against the Philadelphia Phillies in the seventh inning at Fenway Park. Garrett CrochetApr 25, 2026; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet (35) throws during the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. But the Red Sox have already cracked open the door to the possibility of Crochet pitching in relief if he can return this season.
