ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Kutter Crawford had an off-field “accident” that requires season-ending surgery on his right throwing wrist, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said on Wednesday, adding that the 29-year-old wasn’t doing anything “irresponsible.”

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Kutter Crawford will miss the rest of the season due to an off-field "accident" that requires season-ending surgery, manager Alex Cora said Wednesday, per ESPN.

The nature of the wrist injury is a mystery, but the upshot for the Boston Red Sox's beleaguered rotation is the same as a more conventional injury.
