Red Sox's Kutter Crawford: Goes on IL with knee issue

The Red Sox placed Crawford on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right patellar tendiopathy, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Crawford's knee issue dates back to early last season, but he has resumed throwing off a mound. The right-hander is without a timeline to make his season debut, but he appears likely to miss at least the first month or so.
