The Boston Red Sox had a busy offseason , bringing in the likes of Ranger Suarez , Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras .
One of the biggest additions who wasn't available to the team during the 2025 playoffs will be outfielder Roman Anthony , as he returns from his oblique injury.
Boston also has some key players nursing injuries as Spring Training approaches, including first baseman Triston Casas , infielder Romy Gonzalez and pitcher Kutter Crawford .
Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe named the trio as candidates for the injured list.
"* Casas, Gonzalez (shoulder) and Crawford (fell behind because of the flu) are IL candidates. Gonzalez has been limited," the longtime Red Sox reporter posted on Bluesky Monday afternoon.
Casas suffered a season-ending torn left patellar tendon on May 2 and is still rehabbing .
It was reported on Feb. 9 that Gonzalez was dealing with a nagging shoulder injury and manager Alex Cora said Monday that the 29-year-old is currently shut down from baseball activities.
Crawford, meanwhile, said in January that he was fully healthy, but acknowledged on Sunday that his status for Opening Day was uncertain .
