White Sox's Garrett Crochet: No plans for shutdown

The White Sox don't plan to move Crochet to the bullpen or shut him down this season while he remains on the roster, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Heyman notes that Crochet will be on a "normal workload as a starter" until the end of the regular season. However, given that manager Pedro Grifol went on record last month that Crochet's workload would be managed, Heyman might just be referring to the pitcher continuing to take regular turns in the rotation. Of course, the White Sox are expected to listen to offers on Crochet leading up to Tuesday's trade deadline, so the plan for the left-hander may change if he lands with a new organization. Interestingly, Heyman adds that Crochet would request a contract extension from the team that acquires him in order to agree to pitch in October. Crochet has already thrown 111.1 innings in 2024, which is 26 more than he had covered in his entire professional career coming into the season.
