BOSTON, MA— The Boston Red Sox today signed right-handed pitcher Kutter Crawford to a one-year contract for the 2026 season.
Crawford, 29, missed the 2025 season after starting on the 15-Day Injured List with right patellar tendinopathy. The right-hander was transferred to the 60-Day Injured List on May 15 and underwent successful surgery on July 2 to reconstruct the stabilizing sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) in his right wrist. Selected by the Red Sox in the 16th round of the 2017 First-Year Player Draft, the Florida native owns a 4.56 ERA (199 ER/392.1 IP) with 389 strikeouts in 86 career Major League games (69 starts), all with Boston (2021-25).
