Boston's ace starter Garrett Crochet may shift to a relief role for the AL Wild Card Series, giving the Red Sox a potential postseason roster option.
Garrett Crochet, who served as a Red Sox starter during the regular season, has a chance to make Boston's Wild Card Series roster in a relief capacity. The move would represent a role change for the left-hander heading into the postseason.
