2026 Injury Report: Updates on Adames, Crochet, Whitlock

In what’s been a tough season for the Giants, another notable injury was made public on August 12. This one involved Willy Adames, who was pulled thanks to a back issue. Plus, Drew Thorpe & Oneil Cruz were among the players on rehab assignments.

Adames removed

Giants shortstop Willy Adames was pulled from the club’s game on August 12 due to a back injury.

Per manager Tony Vitello, Adames will have two days of rest, meaning he’ll likely miss the club’s game on August 14 versus the Rockies. However, Adames is unlikely to be placed on the injured list. Adames has been playing through the back injury for a few weeks.

Crochet still limited

Red Sox manager Chad Tracy noted that Garrett Crochet is still limited to throwing from 60 feet on flat ground.

Boston cleared Crochet, who’s been out for months due to various injuries, to start a throwing program earlier this month.

On another note, Garrett Whitlock was unavailable for the Sox on August 12 due to elbow inflammation.
