Red Sox right-hander Kutter Crawford has undergone successful wrist surgery, the club announced Wednesday.

According to the team, Crawford underwent successful surgery to reconstruct the stabilizing sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) in his right wrist. The procedure was performed by Dr. Thomas J. Graham at the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Crawford hasn’t pitched this season due to soreness in his right knee, and recently manager Alex Cora announced he would miss the rest of the season after suffering an unspecified wrist injury off the field. Cora declined to elaborate on the cause of the injury, only saying it was the result of an accident but not due to “irresponsible” behavior.

Last season Crawford was one of Boston’s most durable starting pitchers, making 33 starts and posting a 4.36 ERA over 183.2 innings. Crawford also allowed a league-worst 34 home runs, and after the season it was revealed that he had pitched the majority of the season with a knee injury, which lingered into the offseason and eventually prevented Crawford from pitching at all.

Originally a 16th-round pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, Crawford has appeared in 86 games for the Red Sox since making his MLB debut in late 2021 and has posted a 4.56 ERA.
