He pitched three games for the Double-A Birmingham Barons since beginning his rehab venture. In those three games, he pitched four innings, allowing four earned runs, walking three batters and striking out four in 18 batters faced. He incurred no pitching decisions, yet holds a 9.00 ERA in Double-A.
Crochet is slated to join the Triple-A cohort on Tuesday to potentially take the mound against the Durham Bulls.
The White Sox are awaiting his arrival back to the big leagues to give them a much-needed lefty bullpen arm. The Sox' bullpen is currently one of the worst units in the league. As a collective, they hold the second-worst ERA in baseball (6.37) and have allowed the second-most home runs (22).
